Course Description
Building scalable routed networks requires dynamic routing protocols. However, each dynamic routing protocol is unique and choosing the right one can be difficult. This course focuses on the characteristics and behaviors of OSPFv2 and how it can be used to build large scale routing domains. It will also examine both the configuration and verification of an OSPFv2 deployment. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Cisco exam Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 (200-105 ICND2). This exam counts toward the CCNA Routing and Switching certification.
