Details of Learning Activities
The student will develop more complex skills in the configuration of routers. They will enable the routing protocols EIGRP, OSPF and BGP. These protocols will be modified to meet design considerations. Students will learn to redistribute from one protocol to another and to use route maps to effect this redistribution. Multicasting and IPv6 will be implemented and analysed.
