- Discovery 8: Filtering Customer Prefixes
- Discovery 9: Prefix-Based Outbound Route Filtering
- Discovery 10: Configure Route Maps as BGP Filters
- Discovery 11: Configure Per-Neighbor Weights
- Discovery 12: Configure and Monitor Local Preference
- Discovery 13: Configure Local Preference Using Route Maps
- Discovery 14: Configure AS Path Prepending
- Discovery 15: Configure MED
- Discovery 16: Configure Local Preference Using the Communities
- Discovery 17: Configure Route Reflector
- Discovery 18: Configure BGP Route Limiting
- Discovery 19: Configure BGP Peer Groups
You will learn:
- Describe how to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing in a network scenario with multiple domains
- Describe how to use BGP policy controls to influence the BGP route selection process in a network scenario in which you must support connections to multiple ISPs
- Describe how to use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process in a network scenario where you must support multiple connections
- Describe how to successfully connect the customer network to the Internet in a network scenario in which multiple connections must be implemented
- Describe how to configure the service provider network to behave as a transit AS in a typical implementation with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems
- Enable route reflection as possible solution to BGP scaling issues in a typical service provider network with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems
- Describe the available BGP tools and features to optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol in a typical BGP network
