    This Advanced Cisco Networking and EIGRP Design training covers how to design a Cisco network to naturally take advantage of the benefits of EIGRP and enhance its overall speed and stability. Cisco's proprietary Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is a fantastic distance-vector routing protocol that has a huge advantage over a protocol like Open Shortest Path First: it doesn't need a strict topology to do its work. EIGRP works in environments where OSPF doesn't.

    FAQs

    What will you learn in this EIGRP design for Cisco networks training?

    You'll learn how to design Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) internal routing for an enterprise network that runs on Cisco equipment. In other words, you'll learn to design an implementation of one of the most advanced enterprise routing protocols available right now, and how to make your large-scale networks propagate routing information in the quickest, most efficient way.

    Who should take this EIGRP design on Cisco networks course?

    Network designers, network engineers and senior network administrators will want to take this course on EIGRP design. If you currently support networks that operate on Cisco equipment, learning to design and implement EIGRP isn't really optional if you hope to advance your career. Additionally, some of what you'll learn about EIGRP can also be applied to non-Cisco networks.

    Is this training in EIGRP design for Cisco networks associated with any certifications?

    Yes, this course was designed to help learners prepare for a portion of one of the concentration exams of the CCNP Enterprise, but this course isn't exclusively exam prep. You'll learn a lot about designing EIGRP on Cisco networks, but this course features a lot of actual practice with designing and implementing EIGRP in virtual, simulated environments.

    What certification should you consider after taking this course in advanced Cisco networking with EIGRP design?

    If information like this on how to design and implement EIGRP on a Cisco network is useful for you, you should probably plan on earning the CCNP Enterprise eventually. The CCNP Enterprise is a big undertaking, and this course will help you with a portion of one of its concentration exams: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD).

    Why should you take this EIGRP design training?

    You should take this course because of the many advantages that EIGRP brings to a network. For instance, during normal operation, EIGRP has very low network resource usage, EIGRP only propagates routing table changes (not the entire table), and EIGRP supports rapid convergence times for network topology changes. Improve your Cisco network with EIGRP after taking this course.

    Who is this for?

    This Advanced Cisco Networking: EIGRP Design training is considered associate-level Cisco training, which means it was designed for network admins. This EIGRP skills course is designed for network admins with three to five years of experience with Cisco network design.

    What our learners say

    • It feels like the best and the brightest people are training with you — and they are just hanging out with you and showing you the ropes.

    • Very easy and fun way to learn. Keith Barker is my favorite, he'll throw in jokes here and there and it makes me remember certain study points. I highly recommend this app and purchasing subscriptions, it is truly worth the money.

      Joshua E. | IT Systems Administrator
    • When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.
