Why we need BGP - Intro2:13
Why we need BGP - Explanation10:30
Understand why BGP is needed as an exterior routing protocol, how it differs from IGP, and when to advertise your own public IPs through an autonomous system.
Autonomous system and BGP prefixes13:08

Introduction to BGP Neighborship2:30
LAB 1 - Configuring External BGP neighborship18:22
LAB 2 - Configuring eBGP Authentication using TCP MD5 key7:41
LAB 3 - Configuring EBGP Multihop16:38
Learn to configure eBGP multihop on MikroTik routers to form neighbors across non-directly connected ASes by increasing TTL and using static routes or an interior gateway protocol as the path.
LAB 4 - Configuring eBGP multihop with update source16:17
LAB 5- Configuring iBGP - Part 117:36
Continued - LAB 5- Configuring iBGP - Part 112:31
LAB6 - Configuring iBGP - Part 216:12
LAB7 - iBGP Split Horizon14:08

Intro - BGP messages and BGP neighborship states1:40
LAB 8 - Understand the BGP Messages OPEN, UPDATE, KEEPALIVE & NOTIFICATION20:34
BGP States: Idle - Connect - Active - OpenSent - OpenConfirm - Established9:26
Examine how MikroTik BGP sessions transition from idle through connect, active, open sent, open confirm to established, detailing neighbor sessions, three way handshakes, keep alive messages, and update messages.

Intro - BGP Route Selection and Attributes1:56
MikroTik BGP Route Path Selection and Attributes Explained12:21
LAB 9 - Configuring BGP Weight Attribute23:21
LAB 10 - BGP Local Preference Attribute Part119:48
LAB 10 - BGP Local Preference Attribute Part213:35
This lab shows configuring the BGP local preference attribute on MikroTik to influence path selection within an AS, advertising a network via router three, and verifying reachability with pings.
LAB 11 - BGP AS Path Prepending Attribute14:06
LAB 12 - BGP Origin Code Attribute10:01
LAB 13 - BGP MED Attribute12:18
Explore the BGP MED attribute, also called multi exit discriminator, and learn how it advertises routes to enter the AS and how lower MED values influence path selection.

Requirements

Basic networking knowledge
Basic TCP/IP protocol knowledge
Knowledge about Interior routing protocol such as RIP and OSPF

Description

Tired of searching on the net to find how you can configure BGP on your MikroTik routers? Do you feel overwhelmed and don't know from where to start with the configuration? if yes, then this course is for you.

I have designed this course after a very successful series of MikroTik Routing courses that I have published them on udemy. I have received a lot of requests from udemy students to design a BGP course for MikroTik and here it is available for you.

In this course, I am going to start from scratch with BGP - so if you have no knowledge about BGP then this course is fine for you.

This course will cover 13 LABS in total and It brings you to the intermediate level in configuring BGP on MikroTik routers.

Topics such as: Autonomous systems, prefixes, BGP neighbor adjacency, EBGP, iBGP, eBGP Authentication, eBPG multihop, Update source, iBGP Split Horizon, BGP Messages and States, and the many BGP attibutes will be covered in this course.

If you want to bring your knowledge to a higher level, don't wait and grab this course to help you.
