This report summarizes the Cisco CCIP BGP (642-661) training course led by instructor Jeremy Cioara CBT Nuggets Course Overview
Content coverage (strengths)
Jeremy does not read slides. He draws. In the 642-661 series, he famously uses the whiteboard to turn BGP into a story about "The Postal Service" or "Airlines flying between cities."
While Cisco has updated its exam codes (transitioning from CCIP to the modern CCNP Enterprise and Service Provider tracks), the fundamentals of BGP have not changed.
The course moves like a well-designed network. Foundational sessions establish the control plane: BGP neighbor relationships, session states, and finite-state machines. Jeremy uses crisp analogies—neighbors exchanging letters, each route signed with attributes that tell a story of preference and origin. Labs follow: you configure a neighbor, watch the session climb from Idle to Established, and feel the small victory as prefixes appear in the RIB.
Despite the exam retirement, the BGP concepts taught are timeless.
