THE CCNP EXAM TOPICS COVERED IN THIS
CHAPTER INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:


Understand how to select and configure the different
methods for controlling route updates.


Know how to configure and verify route redistribution.

Understand the concepts relating to route summarization.

In this chapter, we are going to take the information you learned
about filtering in the last chapter and show how it can be applied
to the different IGPs. We will also explain policy-based routing
and the need for it in networks. We conclude this chapter with a look at networks running
multiple IGPs and how to share routing information between them. We also look at route
summarization and how it can be used with the different IGPs.
Companies are no longer able to use bandwidth as a resolution for issues. Most companies

The engineer who can optimize a company’s current network and provide better uptime will be
