Hands-On Lab Workshop: OSPF

Event Overview

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Open Shortest Path Foundations (OSPF) Learning path. This learning path on foundational Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) provides a comprehensive introduction and deep dive into the core aspects of OSPF. It starts by explaining the basics of OSPF, including its purpose, operation, and fundamental concepts such as OSPF Neighbors, advertising routes, authentication, OSPF network types, and many others. This learning path aims to equip network professionals with the foundational knowledge needed to manage and optimize OSPF in real-world environments, emphasizing best practices and common pitfalls.
