COURSE INFORMATION
Implementing Cisco MPLS v3.0 (MPLS) Overview:
Implementing Cisco MPLS v3.0 (MPLS) course is designed to introduce you to MPLS concepts, installation, migration, operation, inspection, and troubleshooting. You’ll start with an overview of MPLS and its operation, after which you’ll concentrate on MPLS Virtual Private Network (VPN) deployment. The MPLS fundamentals covered in this class will provide the theory and hands-on knowledge to implement, integrate, and deploy an MPLS infrastructure. The MPLS VPN lecture and labs will cover the models, diversity, implementation, troubleshooting, and flexibility of MPLS VPNs.
Implementing Cisco MPLS v3.0 (MPLS) Prerequisites:
Before attending this course, you must have the following:
- Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification or equivalent level of working knowledge and experience
- Completion of CCNA Basics and ICND courseware is recommended training for CCNA
- Equivalent knowledge and skill that can be acquired by attending Cisco’s training courses Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) and Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP)
- Practical experience with deploying and operating networks based on Cisco network devices and Cisco IOS is strongly recommended
- The QoS course is highly recommended because QoS knowledge is assumed in several sections of the course
Implementing Cisco MPLS v3.0 (MPLS) Objectives:
After successfully completing this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the features of MPLS
- Describe how MPLS labels are assigned and distributed
- Identify the Cisco IOS tasks and command syntax necessary to implement MPLS on frame-mode Cisco IOS platforms
- Describe the MPLS peer-to-peer architecture and explain the routing and packet forwarding model in this architecture
- Identify the Cisco IOS command syntax required to successfully configure, monitor, and troubleshoot VPN operations
- Identify 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
- Provide an overview of MPLS Traffic Engineering
