Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers v3.2
This set of lab exercises (lab bundle) contains all the exercises associated with the Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP 3.2) course. The lab exercises cover all aspects of BGP configuration, including:
- Configuring simple BGP connectivity with a service provider
- Influencing BGP route selection
- Configuring BGP filtering mechanisms, including AS-path filters, prefix lists and weights
- Configuration of a transit autonomous system
- Configuration of BGP route reflectors and BGP confederations
- Configuring advanced BGP features including Local Preference, AS-Path prepending, MED, BGP communities, peer groups, and route flap dampening
Content
This set of lab exercises contains the following exercises:
- Configuring Basic BGP
- Configuring a Transit AS
- Using Multihomed BGP Networks
- Employing AS-Path Filters
- Filtering with Prefix-Lists
- Implementing Changes in BGP Policy
- Influencing BGP Route Selection with Weights
- Setting BGP Local Preference
- Understanding BGP Multi-Exit Discriminator
- Addressing BGP Communities
- Introducing Route Reflectors
- Configuring and Monitoring Confederations
- Limiting the Number of Prefixes Received from a BGP Neighbor
- Implementing BGP Peer Groups
- Using BGP Route Dampening
Objectives
Upon finishing this set of exercises, you will be able to:
Configure BGP on the router connecting customer network and establish routing between customer network and the Internet
Importance
This lab bundle is highly recommended to students who attended the BGP training in the past and would like to refresh and consolidate their BGP configuration and troubleshooting skills. As part of the Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP) course these exercises support the Cisco Certified Internetworking Professional (CCIP) certification.
Target Audience
The course is targeted at pre- and post-sales technical support engineers who have to design and implement BGP-based networks.
Prerequisite Knowledge
To successfully complete this set of exercises, you need in-depth knowledge of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) as well as skills in configuring and troubleshooting BGP on Cisco IOS. This knowledge is best gained by attending the Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP) course. In-depth understanding of generic IP routing features as gained by attending Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) course is also required.
