Publisher's Synopsis
Enabling IP routing with Cisco routers is a comprehensive IP routing reference guide for network architects as well as students preparing for the CCNP and ccdp exams. Using clear, concise language and a variety of practical case studies, the book provides a seamless, logical progression of all practical aspects of enabling IP routing. It follows a simple-to-complex approach in the discussion of IP routing protocols, and covers the odd, Rip, igrp, Eiger, and BGP protocols. Detailed coverage of MPLS, Constraint-Based routing, QoS, traffic engineering, and OSPF and BGP integration is also provided. The focus on implementation and real-life examples and case studies make enabling IP routing with Cisco routers a practical guide that is easy to use in real-world scenarios.Key features* addresses the implementation and configuration of IP routing, legacy routing protocols, modern era routing protocols (MPLS, BGP, and OSPF), Constraint-Based routing, QoS, and fundamentals of routing algorithms* covers the essential material tested on the Cisco exam 'building scalable Cisco internetworks' (Bsci 642-801) required CCNP and ccdp certification* explains even the most tedious and complicated concepts of IP routing in interesting and easy-to-understand language.
