5 daysIntermediate9 modulesMPLS v3.0
About this course
Implement MPLS in provider and enterprise networks. You will learn label assignment and distribution, configure frame-mode MPLS, build MPLS VPNs from simple to complex, provide internet access over VPNs and understand traffic engineering.
What you'll learn
- Describe the features of MPLS
- Describe how MPLS labels are assigned and distributed
- Configure and troubleshoot frame-mode MPLS on Cisco IOS platforms
- Describe the MPLS peer-to-peer architecture and explain the routing and packet-forwarding model in this architecture
- Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot VPN operations
- Describe how the MPLS VPN model can be used to implement managed services and Internet access
- Describe the various Internet access implementations that are available and the benefits and drawbacks of each model
- Describe the tasks and commands that are necessary to implement MPLS TE
