One of the consistent training requests I receive at CBT Nuggets is for none other than BGP. I guess this is no surprise since it impacts so many disciplines (Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, AWS, to name a few). To respond to these requests head-on, we are putting the finishing touches on a new training module today that we will release within days.
I know you are going to love it! Here is the module playlist. Obviously, more great BGP content is to follow.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) – Basic Operations
- An Overview of BGP
- BGP Message Types
- BGP Message Formats
- BGP Neighbor States
- BGP Path Attributes
- The Origin Attribute
- The AS_PATH Attribute
- The NEXT_HOP Attribute
- BGP Weight
- BGP Best Path Selection
Although I work every with BGP I’m really excited about this course. Might give me just enough extra information that could be useful. Is there anything in the course about BGP in a MPLS VPN ‘cloud’? Although I’m kinda aware how this Multiprotocol BGP implementation works, it could be useful to know more about this.
When is it going to be online? I can’t find them yet.
The Module shown above will arrive at the site later this week. I will be sure to do another post with the link when it is available. There will be many other BGP Modules to follow. They will include Multiprotocol BGP.
