Hi folks - Need to learn BGP. Cisco-focused ok. Looking for the right book to buy. Willing to buy 2-3 to get the right one.
I know the very fundamentals of BGP, and conversant in most other IOS topics (route-maps and route redist, weights, IGPs). I can set up a basic neighbor and get IBGP vs EBGP, but need to understand community strings and weighting in BGP-world - used to an EIGRP/OSPF world primarily. Goal is to know how to effectively multi-home our enterprise (3 offices, 4 ISPs, we have an assigned ASN and /24), including redirecting inet traffic between the sites over our private WAN links. Not looking to run a tier-1 ISP or anything like that. (Yes, I know it can be a rats-nest to multi-home. My needs are limited; also, it isn't just for the public internet, I also need to present multi-home over BGP to trading partners from our multiple sites over multiple links. I intend to keep the two routing domains separate tho.) So essentially I need "BGP for non-dummies that is also a good reference book". (Yes, I also have the mandatory on-call friend-who-does-this-for-a-living to pester, but he does it for a living for someone else, and I want him to remain a friend. :) ) Thanks, -bacon _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
