This 5-day course will teach you how to design, deploy, and maintain an Internet Service Provider (ISP) backbone, focusing on the operational design and scaling principles of routing protocols used in large-scale networks. This class will provide you with adequate hands-on practice with techniques used in implementing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and MPLS in an ISP network.

Note: You are required to bring your own laptop running Windows 2K or XP and an Ethernet cable to class.

Highlights

• Critical factors for scalability in a large network design
• Implement an IGP, such as OSPF, into a large-scale multilayer network using best practices for scalability
• Implement BGP into a large scale multilayer network using best practices for scalability
• Control routing policy by influencing the BGP path selection process using route maps, prefix lists, and community strings
• Implement multihoming strategies using multiexit discriminators (MEDs) and local preference
• Implement and verify MPLS functionality in a large-scale network
• Implement and verify MPLS VPN connectivity in intra-AS environments
• Implement and verify MPLS Traffic Engineering practices
• Characterize the features and requirements for implementation of Layer 2 VPNs (any Transport over MPLS)
