Cisco 360 Learning Program for CCIE Routing and Switching

Self-Paced Lesson: IGP Routing Protocols Datasheet

The centerpiece of this Lesson Module is the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Routing Protocols video on demand (VoD)
instruction. The split-screen format of each VoD module provides the powerful learning experience of shadowing a Cisco
CCIE® who is configuring and explaining IGP Routing Protocols.

Duration: Seven Hours

Each VoD is approximately 15–30 minutes in length, and the approximately seven hours of VoD modules are grouped into five
blocks. A set of supporting “Spot the Issues” soft assessment quizzes are included in each block. In addition, two hands-on,
technology-focused practice labs on the subject of the IGP Routing Protocols are available in this Lesson Module.

Target Audience
The IGP Routing Protocols lesson is for professional-level networking engineers who have 3–5 years of network engineering
experience or who have completed the Cisco CCNP® certification. This self-paced Lesson Module is for engineers who need
to master CCIE-level problems that involve:

ƒ Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

ƒ Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
ƒ RIPv2
ƒ Redistribution

Recommended Prerequisites and Corequisites

A CCNP level of understanding of the IGP Routing Protocols, as well as the ability to perform primary route redistribution tasks
and the configuration basics that are needed to implement IGP protocols are required. It is also recommended that this lesson
be completed with these lessons:

ƒ CCIE R&S Lesson: Data Link Layer Technologies

ƒ CCIE R&S Lesson: Frame Relay
ƒ CCIE R&S Lesson: BGP Routing Protocols

Lesson Module Objectives

Upon completion of this self-paced Lesson Module, learners should be able to formulate well-defined mental simulations to
perform the following IGP Routing Protocol tasks with the minimally described parameters that are commonly found in CCIE-
level tasks.

ƒ Formulate an end-to-end opening moves strategy for route redistribution

ƒ Configure OSPF
ƒ Configure EIGRP
ƒ Configure RIPv2
ƒ Configure route redistribution

Lab Outline
This Lesson Module contains two hands-on labs that focus on the IGP Routing Protocols topics in the VoDs. Learners must
supply the lab equipment that is required to run the labs. Each of these hands-on, technology-focused scenarios consists of:

ƒ A scenario written with CCIE-level configuration tasks

ƒ A detailed Answer Key
ƒ The web-based and highly interactive Mentor Guide

Lab Topology
The following minimal topology is required to perform the IGP Routing Protocols Lesson Module labs.
