KB BGP / MPLS

LIVE

Khawar Butt offers detailed coverage of BGP & MPLS. You will be able to understand the purpose of BGP and configure it from scratch. The course will also cover how to implement iBGP & eBGP using Static and Dynamic Peers. After taking this course, you will fully understand BGP concepts like Route Reflectors, Route Aggregations, Filtering and Attributes like Local Preference, MED, communities etc. This course also covers fundamentals of MPLS, a detailed discussion on the way a packet is forwarded thru a MPLS network and the implementation of MPLS VPNs.
