    I can't speak for BGP, but the way I learned OSPF was book + video + lab

    what sort of lab? interview? get yourself some books and read...ospf configuration guide and internet routing architectures vol2.

    BGP is a bit out of scope for the CCNA, but your best bet for a "quick" learn is videos, books and lab up some configuration examples. There are plenty YouTube videos by Chris Bryant, Jeremy Cioara, Kevin Wallace, etc...Google is also your friend. Chris Bryant also has plenty short videos on his website.

    Go read Internet Routing Architectures by Halabi. the first half of the book is theory, the second half configuration. if you've got a lab to work with, mimic his configurations and make them work and make sure you understand them. This is how I learned BGP initially. BGP you absolutely positively must get hands on with, particularly if they're going to test you in a lab, videos and reading aren't going to be enough, unless you happen to be a network prodigy or savant.

    @OP - That's one tall order to learn bgp, ospf, and mpls in a few weeks! Not sure how in depth they're looking for, a high level overview maybe, but yea, all of those technologies can go pretty deep. Best wishes to you though.

    @Forsaken_GA - "unless you happen to be a network prodigy or savant" hahaha.. that's some funny stuff right there
