Teaching objectives
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Setting up a router and switch
Implement BGP, RIP and OSPF protocols
Managing multi-area OSPF systems
Supervising a router via SNMP

Intended audience
Anyone whose job requires knowledge of configuring routing protocols on Huawei routers.

Prerequisites
Good knowledge of TCP/IP and Huawei router configuration. Or knowledge equivalent to that acquired in the course "Huawei routers and switches, implementation "(ref. HUA).

Course schedule

1
Routing options

  • Topology: tree or mesh.
  • Prioritization: flat or backbone network.
  • Services: prioritization or non-prioritization.
  • Flows: synchronous or asynchronous.
  • Technical or strategic criteria: throughput, lead time, price or preference.

2
Distance vector routing

  • RIP 1 and RIP 2 protocols.
  • The simplicity of RIP. Loop handling. Convergence. Message handling.
  • Subnet routing, security. Multicast broadcasting, SNMP administration.
  • External route management, Next Hop. Authentication.
  • Multiple metrics. Best path selection. Loop processing, Split Horizon. Poison Reverse. Convergence.
  • Implement load sharing. Operator action on route selection.
  • Globalization or not of subnets. Routing filtering: access lists.
  • Configure authentication.
  • RIP configuration commands.
Hands-on work
RIP configuration commands on LAN and WAN. Validate limits. Implement a network interconnection. Troubleshooting, maintenance and debugging on RIP. Implement load balancing.

3
Link-state routing

  • Basic concepts. Database and topology. Link states.
  • The OSPF protocol. Metrics and multiple paths: traffic distribution.
  • The role of neighborhoods in rapid convergence.
  • Hierarchical network with backbone and zones. The notion of designated router. Secure broadcasting of link status.
  • Event-based updates. Network updates with or without broadcast.
  • Define OSPF areas with or without globalization. Stub Area, Not So Stub Area, virtual link.
  • Consequences for broadcasting. Backbone routing configuration, interzone, intrazone.
  • Interpret database information. Customize link costs.
  • Optimizing OSPF load. Traffic distribution.
Hands-on work
Implement a secure OSPF interconnection. Create a hierarchical network and define OSPF areas. Check backbone broadcasts and the impact of the notion of terminal area (stub area and NSSA) with or without route synthesis. OSPF maintenance and debugging.

4
BGP path vector routing

  • Definition. Autonomous systems. Topology, tables, loops, routes, political routing.
  • Path vectors. Attributes. BGP procedures. Exchanges, updates, polling.
  • Political routing processing.
