Description of the training: Cisco Router Advanced Training Course – Mastering Advanced Cisco Router Configurations
This 4-day course makes you autonomous in advanced Cisco router configurations: multi-area OSPF and EIGRP routing, route redistribution and filtering, IPv6 routing, gateway redundancy (HSRP/VRRP), quality of service (QoS), IPsec VPNs and in-depth troubleshooting. A deep dive for experienced network administrators.
The course blends theory with guided hands-on labs. It follows the Cisco Router Essentials course.

Good to know
The course suits network administrators with prior Cisco router experience. A preliminary discussion validates your knowledge (IOS, basic routing) and adjusts the pace across the four days.
Objectives of the training: Cisco Router Advanced Training Course – Mastering Advanced Cisco Router Configurations
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Configure multi-area OSPF and EIGRP
- Implement route redistribution and filtering
- Deploy IPv6 routing
- Configure gateway redundancy (HSRP/VRRP)
- Set up quality of service (QoS) and IPsec VPNs
- Troubleshoot advanced routing configurations
Prerequisites of the training: Cisco Router Advanced Training Course – Mastering Advanced Cisco Router Configurations
Prior experience configuring Cisco routers (IOS, addressing, basic routing) or completion of the Cisco Router Essentials course is recommended.
Because every participant is unique, a personalised interview with our expert lets us design a course perfectly aligned with their objectives, level and professional challenges.

FAQ
Who is this course for?
It is aimed at network administrators with prior Cisco router experience who want to deepen advanced configurations (multi-protocol routing, IPv6, redundancy, QoS, VPNs).
What is multi-area OSPF?
Multi-area OSPF divides a network into areas to improve scalability and reduce computation load. The course covers its hierarchical design and optimisation.
What is route redistribution?
Redistribution exchanges routes between different protocols (for example OSPF to EIGRP), essential in heterogeneous networks. The course covers its implementation and associated filtering.
What is HSRP?
HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) provides default-gateway redundancy: if one router fails, another takes over with no interruption. The course covers HSRP and VRRP.
Does the course cover VPNs?
Yes. The course addresses IPsec VPNs to secure inter-site exchanges, as well as the methodology for troubleshooting advanced routing configurations.
How long is the course?
The course lasts 4 days, with a strong hands-on focus to master advanced Cisco router configurations.
