of EIGRP
1.8. Describe the features and operation
of single area OSPF
1.9. Describe the features and operation
of multi-area OSPF
1.10. Explain basic OSI terminology and
network layer protocols used in OSI
1.11. Identify similarities and differences
between Integrated IS-IS and OSPF
1.12. List the types of IS-IS routers
and their role in IS-IS area design

identify the steps to configure an
Enhanced IGRP environment and verify
proper operation (within described
guidelines) of your routers
2.2. Given an addressing scheme and other
laboratory parameters, identify the steps
to configure a single-area OSPF environment
and verify proper operation (within described
guidelines) of your routers

laboratory parameters, identify the steps
to configure a multiple area OSPF environment
and verify proper operation (within described
guidelines) of your routers

laboratory parameters, identify the steps
to configure Cisco routers for proper
Integrated IS-IS operation
2.5. Identify the steps to select and
configure the different ways to control
routing update traffic

identify the steps to configure a BGP
environment and verify proper operation
(within described guidelines) of your
routers
2.9. Identify the steps to configure
a router for Network Address Translation
with overload, static translations, and
route maps.

the correct routing protocol to meet
the requirements
