DATA SHEET

BUILDING CORE NETWORKS (BCN) WITH OSPF, BGP, ANDMPLS

COURSE OVERVIEW

Building Core Networks (BCN) is a powerful five-day hands-on course that will provide you with the required

knowledge and skills to design, deploy, and maintain an Internet service provider (ISP) backbone network. You will

learn the key principles of the routing protocols that are used in very large networks. Ten hands-on labs and case

studies reinforce the lecture materials to ensure that you have the working skills to impact the networks you support.

You will learn the best practices for deploying Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and

Multilayer Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) in your network as well as implement a virtual private network (VPN) to

provide secure communications in your network.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is intended for network professionals including designers, implementers, and support staff that are involved with the

deployment of large-scale networks for large enterprises or the design and deployment of high-end ISP networks that use scalable

technologies like OSPF, BGP, or MPLS.

OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to perform the following tasks:

Identify the critical factors that effect network scalability Implement an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) such as OSPF in a large multi-layer network Deploy BGP in a large-scale multilayer network Use Route Maps and prefix list to control the routing policy of a network Implement multihoming strategies Implement and verify MPLS in a large-scale multilayer network Implement and verify MPLS VPN connectivity in intra-autonomous-system (intra-AS) environments Implement and verify MPLS Traffic Engineering practices Characterize the features and requirements for implementing Layer 2 VPNs (Any Transport over MPLS)

LAB OUTLINE

Lab 1: Configuring Router and IP ConnectivityCreate your classroom lab environment including setting up therouters including hostnames, passwords, and user authentication.Also configure the router interfaces and verify IP connectivity.

Lab 2: Configuring OSPFBuild from Lab 1 by configuring an OSPF infrastructure includingenabling OSPF logging and verifying OSPF functionality.

Lab 3: Configuring iBGPConfigure full mesh iBGP routing in the classroom network byenabling a BGP router and iBGP neighbors. Next, add internalnetworks to the BGP network and verify that router advertisementsare operational.

Lab 4: Configuring eBGP Establish a relationship between different autonomous systems(ASs) by introducing eBGP to the network. Configure aggregationand verify that BGP peering and aggregated route advertisementsare operational.

Lab 5: Configuring iBGP Route ReflectorsConfigure router reflector clusters and peer groups and observe thebenefits of both.

Lab 6: Configuring MultihomingIn this extremely demanding lab, use three different methods tomanage traffic flow in a BGP network. Implement an InboundPolicy using LOCAL PREFERENCE and two different OutboundPolicies using MED and AS-PATH prepend.

Case Study: PIPEXReview an actual ISPs use of the design principles andconfiguration practices described in the course materials andpracticed in the hands-on labs.

Lab 7: Configuring MPLSContinue from the previous labs to introduce MPLS into theclassroom network. Verify the functionality of MPLS and thenmigrate some of the routers in the network off of BGP.

Lab 9: Configuring Intra-AS MPLS VPNsPractice configuring Intra-AS MPLS VPNs by migrating existingrouters to customer networks and then adding an MPLS VPN toan AS.

Lab 10: Configuring MPLS TEDeploy MPLS TE over OSPF and configure traffic to flow onto anMPLS TE Tunnel. Verify complete operation of the TE Tunnel.

LAB TOPOLOGY

The training lab topology is designed to simulate a real-world network with core routers, edge routers, and access routers.
