Implementing Cisco IP Routing v1.0 (ROUTE)

5-day Hands-on Cisco Authorized Course

Course Description

In this course, administrators of medium-to-large network sites will learn to use advanced routing to provide scalability for Cisco routers that are connected to LANs and WANs. Networking professionals will learn to dramatically increase the number of routers and sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added. Hands-on labs ensure you thoroughly understand how to implement advanced routing within your network.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Plan and document the configuration and verification of routing protocols and their optimization in enterprise networks
• Technologies, components, and metrics of EIGRP used to implement and verify EIGRP routing in diverse, large-scale internetworks based on requirements
• Identify, analyze, and match OSPF multiarea routing functions and benefits for routing efficiencies in network operations in order to implement and verify OSPF routing in a complex enterprise network
• Implement and verify a redistribution solution in a multiprotocol network that uses Cisco IOS features to control path selection and provides a loop-free topology according to a given network design and requirements
• Evaluate common network performance issues and identify the tools needed to provide Layer 3 path control that uses Cisco IOS features to control the path
• Implement and verify a Layer 3 solution using BGP to connect an enterprise network to a service provider

Intended Audience

• Network professionals, such as network engineers, network operations center (NOC) technical support personnel, and help desk technicians, who want to correctly implement routing-based solutions given a network design using Cisco IOS services and features, where implementation of routing includes planning, configuration, and verification
• Any individual involved in implementation and verification of routing protocols in enterprise networks

Prerequisites

Student prerequisites are as follows:

• CCNA certification or familiarity with internetworking technologies and the ability to perform basic configuration of Cisco routers, including practical experience installing, operating, and maintaining Cisco routers and switches in an enterprise environment
• Knowledge of IP, including the ability to perform IP subnetting on non-octal boundaries, configure IP standard and extended access lists, operate and configure distance vector routing protocol, configure serial interface, and interpret a Cisco routing table
• CCNA Boot Camp v2.0
