MPLS Fundamentals: Cisco CCNP & Real World

Course details

In this course we will cover all the fundamentals of MPLS. We will bediscussing why MPLS was implemented, the terminology used in an MPLSenvironment, the configurations used in MPLS, concentrating in using Layer 3VPNs.

We will discuss the LDP protocol, what labels are and how they get forwardit to other LDR Routers. Using the hands on lab we will get to see how theselabels get forwarded and we will be configuring multiple IGP routing protocolsalong with BGP to get information across our network.

We will be creating multiple types of VPNs and through the use for RouteTargets and Route Reflectors, we'll demonstrate how packets can be manipulatedin a particular direction.

We will definitely be creating Provider Edge routers Customer Edge Routersand have customers within the same company communicate with each other anddifferent companies also be able to communicate with each other through VPN.

We will also learn how to create VRF's in order to make all this possible,as well as understand the CEF, LFIB, LRIB and much more tables in order totroubleshoot MPLS.
