IS-IS training course description
A hands on course on IS-IS link state routing protocol. The main focus of the course is the use of IS-IS in an IP only environment but can be tailored to concentrate on the use of IS-IS in CLNP networks. Hands on sessions use Cisco routers.
What will you learn
Configure and troubleshoot IS-IS.
Explain how IS-IS works.
Describe the use of Level 1 and Level 2.
Design IS-IS networks.
