Description
This course explains IP addressing and extending IP addresses. The Internet Protocol (IP) is the primary protocol used to encapsulate data in the Internet suite. This course focuses on some of the solutions and mechanisms the Cisco professional should know to help decrease the routing table size as well as create a more hierarchical addressing scheme.
Objectives
- Describe the IP subnetting process
- Calculate subnets and hosts using formulas
- Define classless interdomain routing
- Describe IP Version 6
- Extend IP addresses using VLSM
- Configure the ip helper to manage broadcasts

Description
This course examines the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol. It explains OSPF in comparison to the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and covers discovery, selection, route maintenance, and point-to-point operation. The two formal modes of running OSPF over an NBMA topology are discussed, and OSPF configuration and verification are explained in detail.
Objectives
- Understand the differences between OSPF and RIP
- Explain how the Hello protocol works
- Describe the eight possible states that an OSPF router can go through during the initialization process
- Use IP unnumbered and loopback addressing
- Configure and verify different OSPF operations for a single area

Description
This course covers advanced concepts of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, and how to link multiple areas and OSPF addressing in multiple areas. This course also explains the different types of areas, routers, and link-state advertisements. Configuring and verifying a Cisco router for OSPF multi-area operations is covered in detail.
Objectives
- Design your area network properly
- Configure virtual links and loopback interfaces
- Master the various link-state advertisement (LSA) types
- Understand how multicasting works for internal routers
- Deploy route summarization in OSPF NBMA environments
- Configure and verify multi-area OSPF operations

Description
This course discusses the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocol, which is used for both ISO Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP) and IP applications. It covers how to develop an effective addressing plan, establishing various adjacencies, and configuring Cisco routers and the IS-IS circuit type.
Objectives
- Explain OSI models and protocols
- Identify IS-IS networks, routers, and interface types
- Develop an IS-IS addressing scheme
- Configure and verify Level 1 and Level 2 ISs
Cisco Related Series by MindLeaders BSCI 642-801: 6 Employing Enhanced IGRP
Description
This course discusses the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), which improves Cisco's proprietary IGRP by using elements of distance-vector and link-state characteristics. Learners will examine IP routing with EIGRP, and discuss how EIGRP functions like a distance-vector protocol to find the optimal path on a network and utilize link-state properties.
Objectives
- Explain how EIGRP discovers, chooses, and manages routes
- Configure EIGRP for VLSM and route summarization
- Deploy EIGRP in several NBMA environments
- Configure and verify EIGRP operations

Description
This course covers the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and how it addresses path determination in modern internetworks. The learner will examine the default standard BGP and how it achieves interdomain routing in TCP/IP networks to transport packets.
Objectives
- Explain the process for connecting to other autonomous systems
- Explain the basics behind BGP routing policy functions
- Describe how BGP synchronization works
- Describe BGP peering functions with peer groups and communities
- Configure and verify BGP

Description
This course explores advanced concepts of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The learner will examine BGP scalability through route reflectors and managing policy using prefix lists, and will learn how to connect to multiple ISPs via BGP and how to configure and verify multihomed BGP scenarios. The course also discusses methods for redistributing routes between BGP and IGPs.
Objectives
- Calculate connections needed for IBGP
- Design and configure a route reflector
- Use the show ip bgp command
