As a Network Engineer or Network Administrator, one of your very first responsibilities will be to monitor an existing IPv4/IPv6 routing implementation...or to implement one yourself. Or perhaps your network will begin to grow beyond the abilities of its current routing protocol. In all of these situations (and more) in-depth knowledge of a time-tested routing protocol is a must, and OSPF fits that category. As an industry standard IP Routing Protocol, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 have been implemented within tens of thousands of global networks and this course will help you implement, or modify it, within your network as well. Using Cisco devices for demonstration purposes, you’ll learn not only the theory of how OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 works but the actual commands to form adjacencies between routers and monitor those adjacencies. You’ll learn about OSPF Areas, LSA Types, Virtual Links, Stub Areas and a whole lot more with demonstrations each step of the way that you can easily recreate yourself. Join us for this course and let INE help you...to become an OSPF expert!
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
* Configure Cisco routers to form OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 adjacencies
* Monitor OSPF operational status on Cisco routers
* Describe the details of the OSPF adjacency process
* Troubleshoot issues that arise due to OSPF configuration inconsistencies
* Implement OSPF Stub Areas and Virtual Links
* Recognize the differences between OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 LSA types
* Utilize the OSPF Link State Database for monitoring and troubleshooting
* Perform OSPFv2/v3 LSA Filtering and Summarization
