Training Provided by Serebra Learning Corporation Within the range of expected student abilities stated in the prerequisites, some students may need a little more review than others. This first part of the course provides a refresher for those students who need to be brought up to the same level as the more experienced students. The material for this part of the course is expected to be drawn from chapters 2 and 3 of the ILT. This first course in the BSCN curriculum should provide the learner with a brief overview of routing principles. The difference between distance vector and link-state routing protocol behavior is explained. Convergence issues surrounding the most commonly used interior routing protocols, RIP, IGRP, EIGRP and OSPF are also presented. This course also covers various aspects of IP addressing including VLSM as well as Route Summarization.

Description

This course covers the use, operation, configuration, and verification of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) in a single area and multiple areas. In the case of OSPF in a single areas it covers, IP and Hierarchical Addressing, VLSM, Route summarization, Interdomain Routing, and Helper Addresses While in the case of OSPF in a multiple areas. It covers, creating multiple OSPF areas and OSPF operation across multiple areas. It also covers virtual links and how to configure and use OSPF multi-area components. Finally, it covers how to verify OSPF operation. The material for this part of the course is expected to be drawn from chapters 4 and 5 of the ILT.

Audience

Network administrator, network designer, network specialist, network technician (specializing in configuring and supporting multiprotocol internetworks).
