Course ObjectivesBGP Deployment

Course ObjectivesBGP Deployment

You will be able to:• Describe the connectivity, redundancy, routing and

addressing requirements of Service Provider’s customers

• Configure IP routing with a customer using static routes redistributed into provider BGP

• Configure BGP routing with a customers multi-homed to one or more Service Providers

• Design and configure backup solutions and load-sharing of customer’s traffic

• Design, deploy and troubleshoot QoS and Web caching policy propagation with BGP
