So my team is growing and I was able to promote a sysadmin up to joining our network engineering team. Right now his knowledge stops at basic IP addressing and pinging devices on a local network.
I am going to spend the next few months getting him up to speed on our network architecture, but I need to get him started with the basics first.
What resources (books, videos, INE courses) would you recommend that I can provide to him to teach the below:
Basics
- Layer 1 vs Layer 2 vs Layer 3 (we are an ISP, so we need to primarily focus on routing and switching)
- ARP
- Spanning Tree
- VLANs
- Basics of BGP
Advanced topics
- Dynamic routing (IS-IS specifically)
- VRFs
- MP-BGP
- L2VPN (Kompella, BGP signalled)
- L3VPN
I had an INE subscription that expired a little while ago, that I would gladly renew if it helps him. Would it make sense for me to provide him with Cisco certification courses? (even though we are a fully Juniper shop)
I never did CCNA/CCNP/CCIE, I learned all of the above through my own research.
