This capability enables autonomous (non-SD-WAN) routing devices to be managed through the Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, unifying autonomous and SD-WAN devices into a single platform, unlocking many of the tools and features previously only offered to SD-WAN devices, such as device lifecycle management, DIA (Direct Internet Access), Cloud-onRamp, and troubleshooting tools.
Enroll to gain practical skills in onboarding traditional routing devices into SD-WAN Manager, and become proficient in leveraging SD-Routing's benefits for simplified network management and enhanced operational agility. Start your SD-Routing journey today!
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Foundations
This learning path on foundational Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) provides a comprehensive introduction and deep dive into the core aspects of BGP, the backbone of the internet's routing architecture. It starts by explaining the basics of BGP, including its purpose, operation, and fundamental concepts such as Autonomous Systems (AS), BGP sessions, and the BGP routing table. The series progresses to cover more advanced topics, such as BGP path selection, route advertisement, and the implementation of various BGP attributes like Local Preference, AS Path, and MED. Through practical examples, configurations, and troubleshooting scenarios, viewers gain a thorough understanding of how BGP facilitates global data exchange and the techniques network engineers use to optimize and secure BGP networks. The series aims to equip network professionals with the knowledge needed to manage and optimize BGP in real-world environments, emphasizing best practices and common pitfalls.
