The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) doesn’t just run the internet. Many organizations run BGP internally, and if you want to connect an on-premises network to a public cloud provider, you must know BGP. In this course, Cisco Enterprise Networks: BGP and Path Control, you'll learn how to configure, tune, and troubleshoot BGP. First, you'll learn BGP concepts and configuration. Next, you'll discover path control and redistribution. After that, you'll learn about virtual private networks. Finally, you'll explore policy based routing. When you're finished with this course, you'll know how to configure BGP and how to redistribute between BGP and other routing protocols. Software required: IOS 15.
