Master IP routing Protocols OSPF EIGRP IS-IS BGP: By Redouane MEDDANE

This book is written for network administrators and people involved in the IT Field to Master and Understanding OSPF, ISIS, EIGRP, BGP and Redistribution in order to prepare efficiently Cisco Certifications CCNP R&S and CCIE R&S.

IP Routing Protocol book gives a short theory and many scenarios with more than 130 practices labs detailed with explanation of the different behaviors and results.

This book provides in-depth analysis of different fields and features of OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and IS-IS in addition of the redistribution between different Routing Protocols, also the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, MPLS VPN using EIGRP OSPF and IS-IS on PE-CE Links, different challenges and solutions are developed in order to provide for readers a detailed view of these Routing Protocols , based on the formula: theory translated into practice.

This theory is greatly covered and verified with a practices by analyzing different options such as B-bit, E-bit ,V-bit and P-bit, loop prevention mechanism of inter-area and P-bit, Forward Address, Stub and NSSA areas , LSAs Type etc…for OSPF , different concepts and features such as Successor and Feasible Successor, Feasible Distance and Advertised Distance, EIGRP named mode, EIGRP Stub and Filtering using prefix-list and route-map for EIGRP, eBGP and iBGP, BGP attributes and filtering for both IPv4 and IPv6 and in addition IS-IS Routing Protocol is studied with some labs to understand the concept of Levels, the Route Leaking etc… The redistribution between different Routing Protocols with optimization is also included to avoid some issues such as routing loop and suboptimal routing.

All these features are treated for both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
