Implementing Cisco Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)

What you'll learn

The versatility and dynamicity of MPLS make it a technology worth knowing because it solves a variety of business problems. In this course, Implementing Cisco Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) , you’ll learn how to design, implement, and troubleshoot MPLS networks using a large topology as a testbed. First, you’ll build a basic MPLS transport network using OSPF and LDP, laying the groundwork for future MPLS edge services. Next, you’ll add BGP to the solution, providing global and multi-tenant transport across the core using layer-2 and layer-3 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Finally, you’ll learn how to optimize and troubleshoot MPLS networks using Traffic Engineering (TE) and Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) tools, respectively. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of MPLS networking needed to manage a medium sized service provider or a large multi-tenant enterprise network.
