Since BGP is so complex, there are many factors to consider when designing a BGP solution. In this course, you'll learn about address families in BGP, which are available since BGP is designed for multiple protocols. You'll then move on to explore popular options for route filtering, the types of attributes available with BGP, and attributes that can be used to manipulate path preference. BGP assumes a full mesh of iBGP peers, which can be a problem for many enterprises today. Next, you'll examine solutions to this problem, including the use of route reflectors in BGP. You'll learn about the default load sharing capabilities of BGP and options for changing these default settings. Finally, you'll explore migration techniques for IPv6 that interoperate seamlessly with IPv4, including dual stack, tunneling, and translation strategies. This course can be used in preparation for the 300-420: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) certification exam.

You may have heard that YANG is a very important technology when it comes to your Cisco network today. But what is YANG and why should you care? In this course, you'll learn the answer. You'll also explore the two protocols that can leverage YANG in order to ease your administration in the Cisco network - NETCONF and RESTCONF. Then, you'll move on to examine the concept of telemetry, which is the collection of measurements from devices and the transport of this data to receiving equipment for monitoring. Finally, you'll learn about Cisco's Model-driven telemetry and its two options of Dial-in and Dial-out mode. This course can be used in preparation for the 300-420: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) certification exam.

There are various overall approaches you can take to QoS in your enterprise network. In this course, you'll learn QoS concepts, with a focus on a differentiated services approach, including modern options for this important set of network services. Network management traffic is critical and should not be ignored in design work for the enterprise, so you'll also explore various techniques for working with network management traffic. Next, you'll learn about designs you can implement for multicast traffic in your routed infrastructure. Finally, you'll examine technologies that assist with multicast design, such as Source-specific Multicast, Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast, and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol. This course can be used in preparation for the 300-420: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) certification exam.

There are so many options when it comes to delivering user and management traffic over the WAN. In this course, you'll explore WAN design options and the key design decisions you must make. The overwhelming need for and popularity of the VPN in today's enterprises is marked by the fact that there is so many variations. You'll next examine the designs and motivations for many different VPN types. WANs typically are mission critical, so you'll also learn about designing high availability options. The SD-WAN is becoming increasing popularity, so you'll look at the traditional WAN challenges it can solve. Finally, you'll explore why SD-WAN is so important, architecture design elements, and design best practices. This course can be used in preparation for the 300-420: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) certification exam.

We all want high availability in our networks, but what does this really mean? What technologies and techniques can bring high availability to the enterprise? In this course, you'll learn about high availability and some of the tried and true techniques that make it a reality. You'll explore the powerful Layer 2 feature Bidirectional Forwarding Detection along with its key design principles. Next, you'll examine many aspects of designing a successful Layer 2 infrastructure in your enterprise, including important design decisions. You'll learn about the design of the most critical parts of the SD-Access solution, the network underlay and overlay. Finally, you'll explore the complexities of an SD-Access solution and how to ensure components are designed and implemented properly for an SD-Access deployment. This course can be used in preparation for the 300-420: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) certification exam.

IS-IS is making a big comeback, EIGRP is still in use in many organizations, and OSPF is considered the most scalable and advanced protocol we can use for an IGP. In this course, you'll learn about all three. First, you'll examine the techniques behind scalable IS-IS routing designs and have a chance to review key IS-IS concepts. Next, you'll move on to learn about key design concepts that can help ensure your EIGRP implementation is successful. Finally, you'll also explore the techniques for building a scalable and robust OSPF infrastructure. This course can be used in preparation for the 300-420: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) certification exam.

Being able to successfully plan for an IPv4 addressing deployment is a key skill of the modern network designer. Planning for IPv6 addressing deployment is also a very important skill, especially considering that IPv6 may still be very new and possibly not well understood by many of those on your team. In this course, you'll first review the five main areas of enterprise network design. You'll then move on to learn how to plan IPv4 and IPv6 addressing structures for an enterprise network in a manner that helps to avoid issues and allows your enterprise to scale to meet demands. This course can be used in preparation for the 300-420: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) certification exam.
