Course Objectives
Implement the correct BGP configuration to allow your network to act as an ISP
Configure BGP with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems
Configure a provider network to behave as a transit autonomous system (AS)
Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable inter-domain routing in a network scenario with multiple domains
Use BGP policy controls to influence the route selection process with minimal impact on BGP route processing in a network scenario where you must support connections to multiple ISPs
Configure BGP to connect the customer network to the Internet when multiple connections must be implemented
Enable route reflection and confederations as possible solutions to BGP scaling issues
Optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol in a typical network
