Chapter 10: IP Multicast Configuration and Troubleshooting Routing TCP IP- Volume II -CCIE Professional Development

By the time you reach the CCIE level, you know that IPv6 is not "just IPv4 with longer addresses." Volume II tackles the routing specifics of IPv6.


This section comprises the bulk of the book and the most critical knowledge for the CCIE.

Chapters to Cover:

  • BGP Attributes & Policy Control:
  • BGP Route Selection Process:
  • Scaling BGP:
  • Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP):
  • Lab Drills for BGP:


    How do all the routers in a domain find the RP? Volume II compares:


    Note: This is the definitive content of the original Cisco Press book. If you have the Second Edition (published later), the structure is similar but includes updated sections on MP-BGP, IPv6, and DMVPN. The classic 1st Edition listed above remains the standard CCIE reference for routing protocols. Chapter 7: Multicast Concepts and Protocols

    Would you like the table of contents for Volume I (IGPs – OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, RIP) or a side-by-side comparison between Volume I and II?


    Do not read this book linearly if you are studying for the CCIE Lab. Instead, group the topics by weight and dependency.

    Multicast routing is essentially routing backwards. To forward multicast traffic, a router checks if the incoming interface is the same interface it would use to send traffic back to the source. If RPF fails, the multicast packet is dropped. This is the #1 troubleshooting point in multicast labs. Chapter 8: Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
