Certification

IP Routing Foundations, along with Routing Switch Essentials, prepares students for one of the required exams for ASE – ProCurve Networking certification within the HP Certified Professional program.

There is no certification exam for this material, however students may be required to take a pretest before enrolling in the Routing Switch Essentials v5.21 course.

Benefits of attending the course

• Learn basic routing and traffic filtering technologies, including redundant default gateway protocols, Router Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Access Control Lists (ACLs)
• Prepare for the Routing Switch Essentials v5.11 instructor-led course

Topics covered

• Redundant default gateways, VRRP, and VRRPE
• IP routing basics and RIP
• OSPF routing and its role in the contemporary network
• ACLs and their role in shaping traffic and limiting user access to network resources

Student performance objectives

• Describe common goals and tasks performed by default gateway redundancy protocols
• Provide details on operation of the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and its interaction with spanning tree
• Compare and contrast standard VRRP with proprietary default gateway redundancy protocols and enhancements
• List the types of local interfaces that may be defined on a router and applications for each interface type
• List the processes by which a router can learn about remote networks, including static routes and dynamic routing protocols, and describe how routes are redistributed among different processes
• Describe the functional differences between interior and exterior routing protocols
• Compare characteristics of distance-vector and link state-protocols and describe operation of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
• Describe how a router chooses the best route to an address range when multiple paths are reported
• Describe OSPF hierarchy and rules for router participation in information exchange
• List the benefits of defining multiple OSPF areas and describe inter-area information exchange
• Describe options for redistributing non-OSPF route information into the OSPF domain
• Describe the goals of IP traffic filtering and packet characteristics that can be used as selection criteria for special handling
• List common applications for traffic filtering and provide command examples using ACL syntax
• Describe how ACLs are used to identify packets for special handling such as prioritization and Network Address Translation
