• Utilize advanced IP addressing including variable length subnet masks, route summarization, Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR), IP Version 6 (IPv6), and Network Address Translation (NAT) with route maps.
• Identify advanced IP routing principles, including static and dynamic routing characteristics and the concepts of classless routing and network boundary summarization.
• Configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) for a scalable network.
• Configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for a scalable multiarea network.
• Configure Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) for a scalable multiarea network.
• Manipulate routing updates and packet flow using redistribution, distribution lists, administrative distance, route maps, and policy-based routing.
• Configure basic Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for internal and external Border Gateway Protocol connections.

This comprehensive Cisco Authorized course will teach students the complex concepts and commands necessary to configure Cisco routers for scalable operation in large and/or growing internetworks. This course will also help students prepare for the CCNP and CCIP certifications.
