In the previous post we completed the Inter-AS design with Cisco. Stage 1 – Build OSPF/ISIS Areas – COMPLETEStage 2 – Configure BGP, Create ASBRs/PEs, use RR via R7/R8 – COMPLETEStage 3 – Enable MPLS – COMPLETEStage 4 – Create
Part 3 – Cisco MPLS L3VPN Lab
In the previous post we looked at the BGP and MPLS configuration. Stage 1 – Build OSPF/ISIS Areas – COMPLETEStage 2 – Configure BGP, Create ASBRs/PEs, use RR via R7/R8 – COMPLETEStage 3 – Enable MPLS – COMPLETEStage 4 –
Part 2 – Cisco MPLS L3VPN Lab
In the previous post we looked at the IGP configuration. That’s now verified and working, so lets move on the BGP and MPLS. Stage 1 – Build OSPF/ISIS Areas – COMPLETEStage 2 – Configure BGP, Create ASBRs/PEs, use RR via
Part1 – Cisco MPLS L3VPN Lab
In this series of posts, we will look at various technologies used for Inter-AS design. To build these labs, we will use: OSPF IS-IS MPLS Layer3 VPN (VRFs) Multi-protocol BGP A few years ago I passed the CCIE Service Provider
CCIE Enterprise – LAB Equipment
Cisco have released the LAB equipment list for the updated CCIE Routing and Switching (to become CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure). You can’t suggest they are not heading to SDN now !
The future of engineering – network engineers or software engineers ? Cisco SDx
With the constant push towards a software defined world, a question I get asked a lot is what do engineers need to focus on understanding and being skilled at in the current jobs and business market. For a long time
Cisco to change the certification progam
Recently Cisco has announced changes to their certification program – from the CCNA level upwards. Are these good changes ? I think so. Here are the highlights from the recent announcement: CCNA and CCNP certification will NOT require you to
VMware NSX Lab on ESXi – VCP6-NV Part1
I’m presently working towards the VMware VCP6-NV certification, and as part of the learning process I wanted to setup the NSX on my home lab for some hands on experience. NSX is VMware’s Software Defined Networking product (SDN), that will
VMware NSX Lab on ESXi – VCP6-NV Part2
In the previous post, we were able to get the 3x ESXi Nested hosts installed on the ESXi core server. Now we need to get the NSX Manager and Controllers setup. There are a few steps needed here (well covered
BGP Route sharing between iBGP and eBGP
The above scenario came up in some BGP review I was doing recently for a certification renewal, and the core rules of BGP need to be remembered to answer the question that was posed. Both AS’s shown have full mesh
