This intensive, four-day hands-on course provides Cisco service provider customers with an advanced look at popular IPv4 routing protocols supported in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.0.1.
The XIPV4R course investigates the intricacies of Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) operation with Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) Protocol labs that engage the student in a detailed examination of the routing database and the effects of many protocol options. The complexities of large-scale routing using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) are then explored, with an emphasis on scaling large networks using
route reflection and confederations.
Describe and apply basic routing and forwarding security
Describe and examine bidirectional forwarding detection
Explain nonstop forwarding operation
Configure Routing Policy Language (RPL) sets and policies
Design hierarchical and parameterized RPL policies
Configure IS-IS Level 1 and Level 2 areas and verify operation
Implement route redistribrution and summarization in IS-IS
Configure a multiple area OSPF domain and verify operation
Implement route redistribution with a route policy
Configure autonomous systems with BGP route reflectors and as a confederation
Configure external BGP between adjacent autonomous systems
Implement BGP neighbor route policies
Examine internal and external BGP operation
This course is for technical professionals who design, implement, and operate IPv4 routing protocols in a service provider network consisting of routers running Cisco IOS XR Software.
The following are considered the primary audience for this course:
Network and senior engineers
Support engineers
Students attending this class should be able to establish, without assistance, a basic configuration for OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP as accomplished in the Cisco CRS-1 Essentials or Cisco XR12000 Series Essentials course labs.
