Description

This course covers the Data Center, Service Provider and Campus Network evolution and uncover key challenges faced by each vertical that led to the development of BGP EVPN, A unified network solution that fits in Data Center, Service Provider and even in Enterprise Networks as well. Basically, we will spend significant amount of time learning Big Why behind BGP EVPN and why you should learn it. So if you are working in DC, SP or with Enterprise segment, you will find this course useful.

We then look at some overlay networking fundamentals and discover why a new encapsulation called VXLAN was designed. After covering some VXLAN and BGP EVPN fundamentals, this course will also explain some advance EVPN topics like Multi-homing, Routing in the fabric with very easy to understand analogies. Multiple scenarios with lots of white boarding and packet walks are illustrated for a better and firm understanding.

We are starting this course right from the basic and then slowly move towards some advance topics with easy to understand explanation and real life examples. So you don't need any pre-requisite to enrol for this course. This course will help you to build a strong foundation on this amazing industry standard based solution.
