CIM IP Routing, Border Gateway Protcol (BGP) (Cisco Interactive Mentor) (Hardcover)

Master Border Gateway Protocols deployment with networking simulations from Cisco Systems

• The only network simulation product available that covers BGP
• Interactive tutorials cover all the most important BGP features
• Apply knowledge in a robust virtual network environment
• Challenge Labs pull together concepts and give you the opportunity to troubleshoot BGP operations

Cisco Interactive Mentor, IP Routing: Border Gateway Protocol provides fundamental information on BGP operation, path selection, flow control, load balancing, and advertisements using Cisco router products. Each module contains instruction and labs that put the user in the role of a network administrator implementing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) in a virtual networking environment.

CIM, IP Routing: Border Gateway Protocol consists of five modules, each one building on the previous lessons learned. The first four modules contain a brief introduction to the module, interactive tutorials, and simulation lab exercises. Users learn basic BGP concepts, terminology, and attributes as well as the Cisco IOS Software commands used to configure and troubleshoot BGP. The final module presents a series of Challenge Labs that provide users with the opportunity to gain additional configuration and troubleshooting experience. Throughout each tutorial, users are presented with tips and tricks specific to Cisco IOS Software that have been learned from Cisco support engineers and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) engineers while troubleshooting literally tens of thousands of customer networking problems. Users will also benefit from Pop Quizzes, network topology diagrams, and hyperlinked command references.

Master Cisco Best Practices

Interactive Simulation Environment

Self-Paced Anytime, Anywhere Learning You control the pace of learning. You can go through the tutorials, Configuration Labs, and Challenge Labs in any order, depending on what you want to learn or practice. Optional audio and video guides supplement the instructions on screen, and hyperlinks connect you to a glossary and Cisco IOS Software command references. Technical tips and pop quizzes reinforce your growing knowledge, tests at the end of each module allow you to assess your progress, and network topology diagrams illustrate application of configuration and troubleshooting methodologies. This robust combination of technology tutorials, simulated lab exercises, descriptive network topologies, audio and video guides, hyperlinked references, lists of supported router commands, and quizzes results in a superior learning product and provides you with what matters most-hands-on networking experience. CIM IP Routing: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) helps you master the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) necessary to deploy and manage IP networks and can be used as a preparation tool for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP(r)) exam and the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE(r)) exam.
