Implementing Cisco MPLS (MPLS)

Who Should Attend

Cisco Career Certifications

This course is part of the following Certifications:

Prerequisites

	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.
	Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
	Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND)

	Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) and Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP)
	Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)
	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 Quality of Service (QoS)

Course Objectives

After completing this course, delegates will be able to:


	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
	Given a diagram of a typical MPLS network solution, identify the Cisco IOS command syntax required to successfully configure and monitor MPLS operations on frame, switched WAN and LC-ATM interfaces
	Describe MPLSs peer-to-peer architecture and explain the routing and packet-forwarding model in this architecture
	Given a diagram of a typical simple MPLS VPN solution, identify the Cisco IOS command syntax required to successfully configure, monitor, and troubleshoot VPN operations
	Given a diagram of a typical simple, hub-and-spoke, overlapping and central services MPLS VPN solution identify the Cisco IOS command syntax required to successfully configure VPN operations and describe how these model are used to implement managed services and Internet access.

Course Content

The course will enable learners to gather information from the technology basics to advanced VPN configuration. The focus of the course is on VPN technology issues of MPLS from the Service Providers perspective and how to configure some of those 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 learning of those topics.
