This is a self-study technical course that covers Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), a high-performance method for forwarding packets through a network. MPLS enables routers at the edge of a network to apply simple labels to packets. This practice allows the edge devices – ATM switches or existing routers in the center of the service provider core – to switch packets according to labels, with minimal lookup overhead. MPLS integrates the performance and traffic-management capabilities of data link Layer 2 with the scalability and flexibility of network Layer 3 routing. When used in conjunction with other standard technologies, MPLS allows service providers the ability to support value-added features that are critical for their networks.

Implementing Cisco MPLS (MPLS) v3.0 is recommended (although not required) training for individuals seeking CCNP Service Provider certification. The focus of this course is on MPLS technology issues (as those issues apply to service providers) and on how to configure new features and functions in an existing routed environment.

Systems engineers, channel partners, customers and employees.

 

  • 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

 

After completing this course, students 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
This course is available On-Demand. With On-Demand you get access to:
  • 365 days of unlimited access to interactive, Cisco authorized training
  • Hands-on practice labs delivered through Discovery Labs
  • Course content that is equivalent to classroom training
  • Graded assessments at the end of every section to provide students with vital feedback
