The course does not cover MP-BGP (Multiprotocol BGP) for IPv6 or VPNs in extensive depth, nor does it cover BGP Flowspec or Segment Routing . However, for pure BGP fundamentals and internet routing, it remains a masterclass.

Network routing protocols—especially path-vector protocols like BGP—can easily become dry and overwhelming. Jeremy Cioara is widely celebrated in the IT community for his unique, high-energy teaching style that transforms difficult technical theory into intuitive concepts.

Excellent for running actual Cisco IOS images to practice Cioara’s exact lab topologies.

What makes this CBT Nuggets series stand out from a dry technical manual is Jeremy's enthusiasm. BGP can be a "dry" subject involving thousands of lines of configuration. Jeremy uses his signature "doodles" and real-world stories from his time in the field to show you what happens when a BGP configuration goes wrong—and how to fix it. Is It Still Relevant? The course does not cover MP-BGP (Multiprotocol BGP)

In his lab videos, he would build a scenario where two paths existed to the same prefix. Then, he would systematically change one attribute (e.g., lowering the MED) and watch the routing table flip, shouting, "See? BGP chose the private jet over the cargo ship!" That visualization sticks.

The official Cisco documentation lists BGP path selection in a dry list. Jeremy turned it into a competition. He taught students to memorize the order via a mnemonic: (Weight, Local Pref, Originate, AS Path, Origin, MED, etc.).

Before diving into the technical intricacies of BGP, it is impossible to discuss this CBT Nuggets series without highlighting its instructor. Jeremy Cioara is widely regarded as one of the most engaging educators in the IT industry.

While the exam number has been replaced by newer CCNP Enterprise (ENARSI) and Service Provider (SPRI) exams, BGP itself hasn't changed. The core mechanics of the protocol—attributes, finite state machine, and path selection—are exactly the same today as they were when this course was filmed.
