We provide virtual course about MPLS: Implementing Cisco MPLS. This course covers both introductory and advanced MPLS and MPLS VPNs concepts. Configuration, implementation and troubleshooting skills are all included with a significant focus on the use of labs to consolidate the learners knowledge.
Course description:
At the end of this course you should be able to design, implement and maintain core IP routing network infrastructures. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a high-performance method for forwarding packets through a network enabling routers at the edge of a network to apply simple labels to packets.
This practice allows the edge devices 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. Each student on this course will have their own virtual pod of equipment with access to the labs 24 x 7 for 90 days.
Course objectives:
After you complete this course you will be able to:
• Describe the features of MPLS
• Describe how MPLS labels are assigned and distributed
• Configure and troubleshoot frame-mode MPLS on Cisco IOS platforms
