What the student will learn
By completing this tutorial, students will be able to:
- Deep understanding of how the iBGP protocol works
- iBGP Full Mesh Configuration
- Design and implement a redundancy strategy using Router Reflectors Backup
- Route Policy Management
- Deploy and configure Router Reflectors in MikroTik RouterOS
- Diagnose and resolve common problems associated with iBGP configuration
- Network Optimization and Scalability
Requirements
- Understand basic networking concepts, such as network types (LAN, WAN), network topologies, and OSI/TCP-IP models.
- Know the differences between public and private IP addresses, and how they are used in networks.
- Have knowledge of subnets, netmasks and IP addressing.
- Understand the basic concepts of routing and switching in networks.
- Know how Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) work.
- Understand the assignment of dynamic and static IPs.
General Purpose
Provide students with in-depth, practical knowledge on how to implement Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) as internal routing protocol (iBGP) on a network routed using MikroTik RouterOS.
Upon completion of this tutorial, students will be equipped with the skills necessary to configure and manage a robust, scalable and efficient internal network, using the advanced routing capabilities offered by BGP.
Objectives by Chapter
1. Implementation of iBGP Full Mesh with MikroTik RouterOS
- Understanding the importance and benefits of an iBGP Full Mesh topology.
- Practical skills in configuring iBGP sessions between multiple routers using MikroTik RouterOS.
- Knowledge of how to ensure the consistency and stability of internal routes within an AS.
2. Implementation of iBGP with Router Reflector with MikroTik RouterOS
- Understanding how Router Reflectors can optimize iBGP network topology.
- Experience in configuring and managing Router Reflectors and BGP clients on MikroTik RouterOS.
- Knowledge to implement more scalable and less complex routing solutions.
3. Implementation of iBGP Route Reflector Backup with MikroTik RouterOS
- Ability to design and implement a redundancy strategy for Reflector Routers using MikroTik RouterOS.
- Skills to ensure high availability and disaster recovery in the internal network.
- Advanced knowledge of fault management and operational continuity in iBGP-based networks.
At the end of this Tutorial
By the end of this tutorial, students will have acquired a complete set of skills that will allow them to efficiently implement and manage BGP as an internal routing protocol in routed networks.
They will be able to configure iBGP Full Mesh networks, optimize networks with Router Reflectors, and ensure high availability through Routers Reflectors Backup, all within the MikroTik RouterOS environment.
This training will ensure that participants can design more robust, scalable and resilient internal networks, preparing them to face real challenges in configuring and managing complex networks.
