Course Overview

This course is designed to provide technical network professionals with the skills they need to successfully install, configure, and troubleshoot the router in a basic MPLS network. The course covers the fundamentals of MPLS, MPLS traffic engineering, and MPLS virtual private networks (VPNs). You will learn about the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), the Constraint-based Routing Label Distribution Protocol (CR-LDP), and the Resource Reservation Protocol with traffic engineering extensions (RSVP-TE) as well as MPLS internetworking with IS-IS, OSPF, and BGP. The course consists of over 50% hands-on exercises.

After attending this class, you will be able to:

• Describe the basic MPLS label switching model;
• Configure MPLS tunnels;
• Configure MPLS tunnel advertisement to an IGP;
• Describe the establishment of MPLS label-switched paths (LSPs) for traffic engineering;
• Configure E-series platforms for MPLS explicitly routed tunnels;
• Configure MPLS traffic engineered tunnels;
• Define the terms P router, PE router, and CE router;
• Configure E-series platform to support VPNs over MPLS LSPs;
• Configure VRFs; and
• Configure address family-based BGP advertisements.
