What you'll learn

Many engineers work their whole careers without ever really looking under the hood to understand why a network was designed the way it was. Some of this is because their day to day duties don't require this knowledge and some of this is because an engineer chooses to focus their knowledge on becoming exceptional operational engineers. This course, Enterprise IP Routing Design for CCDA DESGN (200-310), will take a closer look at the routing protocols that are commonly implemented in Enterprise networks, specifically covering EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS and BGP. You'll begin with a review the basics of routing protocols including the different types and behaviors that are common between them. You'll first learn about EIGRP, including a review of the basic EIGRP concepts including neighborships, metrics, the topology table, summarization, and stub. Next, you'll explore IS-IS, including a review of the basic IS-IS concepts including neighborships, metrics, and areas. Finally, you'll get to learn about BGP, which includes a review of the basic BGP concepts including neighborships or peerings, and path selection. When you are finished with this course, you'll have a firm base of understanding of the different routing protocols that are commonly implemented in an enterprise environment.
