An intensive hands on IP routing course leading to
LINX Accredited Internet Technician stage 2 focusing
on routing in an IP environment. The course
concentrates on OSPF and IS-IS but also covers BGP
and MPLS. Hands on sessions are used to reinforce
the theory rather than teach specific manufacturer
equipment.
A multiple choice exam, leading to the LAIT II
certification, is available after the course. The exam
consists of 60 questions and lasts 2.0 hours.
Network engineers.
