ENG-405 TCP/IP Networks: Routing

Description

*This course is also available as a live distance learning course*

A 3-day hands-on Training Program to provide participants with the tools required to design and build a routed network. This Training Program delves into the nuts and bolts of the technologies and protocols that help erect today's corporate and service provider networks.

Through practical hands-on activities, the participant will learn about different ways to carry out routing within an autonomous system.

Prerequisite

To fully appreciate the contents of this Training Program, the participant should have attended the following Training Program or have acquired the equivalent experience in the subject matter:

  • ENG-401E Introduction to Data Networks & TCP/IP

Objectives

  • Describe the challenges in designing a routed network
  • Explain the fundamental characteristics of routing
  • Provide methods to manage the use of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
  • Define the characteristics and the operation of Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP), such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
  • Identify the main concepts of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP): the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) of the Internet
  • Explain how to install routers and configure various routing protocols and features, such as static routes, RIP, OSPF and relay agents
  • Present how to analyze network traffic
  • Explain how to design and configure a small scale routed network within an autonomous system
