Configuring Cisco Routers: Advanced Workshop You Will Learn How To Optimize Cisco router configuration for large and complex IP internetworks Manage IP information flows with Cisco routers Deploy scalable routing protocols: EIGRP, OSPF and BGP Minimize core routing tables with route summarization Map between private and public addresses with Network Address Translation (NAT) Strengthen network security with Cisco access lists Course Benefits Cisco routers are a central component of many complex internetworks. In this course, you gain the knowledge and skills required to master the advanced features of Cisco router configuration. Who Should Attend Network managers, engineers, technicians, designers and consultants who are involved in designing and implementing internetworks with Cisco routers. Knowledge of router configuration at the level of Course 466, "Cisco Networking Comprehensive Introduction," is assumed. Hands-On Training Throughout this course, extensive hands-on exercises provide you with practical experience configuring Cisco routers. Exercises include: Configuring VLSM and route summarization with EIGRP Summarizing address spaces Redistributing RIP into EIGRP and OSPF Redistributing routing information between different routing protocols Deploying NAT Transitioning to OSPF Minimizing core routing tables with OSPF stub areas Securing an IP intranet with traffic and session filtering Connecting to other networks using BGP Applying quality of service (QoS) techniques to optimize multiservice IP traffic flows Course Content Cisco Internetworking Review of Cisco architecture Router components and functionality Configuring physical and virtual interfaces Working with a configuration server Routing and addressing Comparing connected, static, default and dynamic routes IP subnetting with VLSM Public and private address spaces Tunneling private addresses over a public network Advanced IP Routing Protocols Enhanced IGRP EIGRP design objectives and terminology Comparing EIGRP with RIP and OSPF Optimizing EIGRP operation for medium and large networks Troubleshooting EIGRP configuration Scalable link state routing with OSPF Using and configuring link state metrics Setting up a simple OSPF network Adding structure with areas Optimizing inter-area address allocation Tuning OSPF Minimizing adjacencies on broadcast networks with Designated Routers Choosing the Backup Designated Router (BDR) Reducing database re-computation using areas Configuring stub, totally stubby and not-so-stubby areas Selecting the best stub area type Reviewing OSPF configuration on frame relay networks Deploying Large-scale IP Networks Managing large address spaces Realizing good address space design Summarizing addressing information Configuring route summarization Working with route redistribution Exploiting Network Address Translation (NAT) Local and global address spaces Setting inside and outside interfaces Configuring Dynamic NAT Overloading a NAT pool Basing NAT on the external interface address Improving Network Security Employing IP standard access lists for address filtering Implementing simple security policies on a firewall router Filtering traffic from selected sources Preventing unwanted access to your router Limiting routing advertisements Configuring numbered and names access lists Controlling applications traffic with IP extended access lists Assessing the effects of filtering based on transport protocol and port numbers Applying filtering to selected application traffic Permitting network control packets Limiting TCP sessions based on their directional traffic flow Implementing dynamic session filtering with reflexive access lists Multiservice IP Evaluating the effects of default queuing schemes on different traffic types Selecting a queuing mechanism: FIFO, WFQ, PQ, CBQ Applying appropriate QoS support to ensure application integrity Managing network congestion with RED and WRED Setting and tuning QoS parameterson Cisco routers Interfacing with External Networks Differentiating between external and internal routing protocols Connecting stub and multi-homed autonomous systems to the Internet using BGP-4 Evaluating external and internal BGP Configuring a BGP autonomous system
