What you'll learn

Believe it or not, enterprise and service provider networking technologies are converging, and this course helps illustrate that. In this course, Cisco Advanced Routing: Tier 3 Service Providers, you’ll learn to design, configure, and manage a small Internet Service Provider (ISP), which in many ways resembles a large enterprise. First, you’ll explore OSPF, a complex and popular routing protocol common deployed in enterprises and service providers alike. Next, you’ll apply BGP both for upstream Internet connectivity and MPLS layer-3 VPN service, which large enterprises commonly use to provide multi-tenancy at scale. Finally, you’ll learn how to optimize the network using a subset of common IP services relating to management, monitoring, and security. Most of these topics are discussed using both IPv4 and IPv6 in the context of dual-stacking. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Cisco enterprise networking needed to manage large sized enterprise networks.
