Advanced Enterprise Networking
From 280CREDS

At enterprise scale the hard problems stop being configuration and become design. This course covers advanced routing with OSPF areas, EIGRP, and BGP, including path selection, route filtering, and the policy work that makes multi-homing behave. You will study MPLS and the VPN services built on it, then SD-WAN as the model that increasingly replaces them, with honest treatment of what it does and does not solve. High availability is covered through first hop redundancy, link aggregation, and fast convergence tuning. Data centre topics include spine-leaf design, VXLAN, and overlay networking. The course closes with capacity planning and a full design exercise for a multi-site organisation, defended against realistic failure scenarios.

Curriculum

Learning Path

Each level is enrolled separately. Work through them in order, or start at the level that matches your experience.

  1. Level 01

    Beginner

    280 CREDS

    Purpose

    Move from configuration to design, where enterprise problems actually live.

    Outcome

    You can design a routed network that scales.

    What You'll Learn
    • Design OSPF areas and understand why hierarchy matters at scale.
    • Configure EIGRP and compare its behaviour.
    • Read a design and predict how it converges after a failure.
  2. Level 02

    Intermediate

    413 CREDS

    Purpose

    Work BGP and the policy that makes multi-homing behave.

    Outcome

    You can configure BGP and control how traffic enters and leaves.

    What You'll Learn
    • Configure BGP with path selection and route filtering.
    • Apply policy to control inbound and outbound traffic.
    • Multi-home a network and make the failover deterministic.
  3. Level 03

    Advanced

    736 CREDS

    Purpose

    Compare MPLS and SD-WAN honestly, including what each does and does not solve.

    Outcome

    You can choose between MPLS and SD-WAN for a real requirement.

    What You'll Learn
    • Study MPLS and the VPN services built on it.
    • Evaluate SD-WAN as the model increasingly replacing them.
    • Design first hop redundancy and fast convergence for high availability.
  4. Level 04

    Expert

    999 CREDS

    Purpose

    Design a resilient multi-site network and defend it against failure.

    Outcome

    You can design and defend an enterprise multi-site network.

    What You'll Learn
    • Design spine-leaf topology and VXLAN overlay networking for a data centre.
    • Plan capacity for growth rather than for today.
    • Present a full multi-site design and defend it against realistic failure scenarios.
