Description
This course introduces Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and its role in routing traffic between independent networks, covering eBGP session configuration and authorized prefix advertisement. Learners will interpret BGP path information, understand route preference, and explore the differences between transit and peering, including the role of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). The course also develops practical skills in checking BGP reachability, route acceptance, and basic routing security.
Learn to configure and verify BGP peering, advertise network prefixes, interpret routing information, and perform basic routing security checks.
