MPLS Implementing Cisco MPLS

View course dates

Course Duration: 5 days

Course Code: MPLS

Course Description:

This five-day course is designed to provide lectures and comprehensive hands-on labs ranging from technology basics to more updated features and functions such as complex VPNs. The focus of the course is on MPLS technology issues as they apply to service providers and on how to configure new features and functions in an existing routed environment. A basic introductory level of some of the more updated features and functions such as Traffic Engineering, Fast Reroute and Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) are introduced on a concept level only and the MPLS Traffic Engineering and other Features course should be taken for in depth understanding of those topics.
 
Objectives:
- Describe basic MPLS frame-mode and cell-mode architectures and identify how it supports applications that are used to address the drawbacks in traditional IP routing
- Describe the Label Distribution Protocol ( LDP) process by explaining label allocation, label distribution, label retention, label convergence and Penultimate Hop Popping (PHP) in both frame and cell modes
- Identify the Cisco IOS command syntax required to successfully configure, monitor, and troubleshoot MPLS operations on frame, switched WAN, and LC-ATM interfaces, given a diagram of a typical MPLS network solution
- Identify the IOS command syntax required to successfully configure, monitor, and troubleshoot VPN operations, given a diagram of a typical simple MPLS VPN solution
- Identify the IOS command syntax required to successfully configure VPN operations and describe how these models are used to implement managed services and Internet access, given a diagram of a typical simple, hub-and-spoke, overlapping and central services MPLS VPN solution
- Describe the MPLS peer-to-peer architecture and explain the routing and packet forwarding model in this architecture
