OSPF

I am so excited to reach the OSPF part of this journey through routing and switching at CBT Nuggets! The course will show up on Monday 5/23/2016 with the first couple of Nuggets complete. This course is part of a massive series covering some of the most critical routing and switching topics:

  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – Layer 2
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – Layer 2 Security
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – OSPF 
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – IS-IS
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – BGP
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – Protocol Independent Routing; Tunnels
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – High Availability

Let’s face it – its not like the Layer 2 stuff was not fun, but OSPF gives us an opportunity to have some really interesting demonstrations and discussions.

Topics in this course will include:

  • Identify the concepts, operation and functionality of OSPF
    • Link-state database
    • OSPF packet types
    • Router ID
    • Adjacencies and neighbors
    • Designated router (DR) and backup designated router (BDR)
    • OSPF area and router types
    • LSA packet types
  • Demonstrate knowledge of how to configure, monitor and troubleshoot OSPF
    • Areas, interfaces and neighbors
    • Additional basic options
    • Routing policy application
    • Troubleshooting tools
  • Realms
