Overview/Description
Multiprotocol Label Switching is a technology capable of dramatically improving the performance of any IP network capable of the technology, and can go beyond and enable service providers a powerful and scalable mechanism of providing customer connectivity. This course covers the practical usage of MPLS technology for today’s networks and emparts an awareness of how this complex protocol operates, as well as provides students confidence to use this feature in their own network.

Included Labs:

Creating the Core - IGP
Creating the Core - Enabling MPLS
Initial MPLS VPN Setup
Running EIGRP Between PE and CE Routers
Running OSPF Between PE and CE Routers
Running BGP Between PE and CE Routers
Overlapping VPNs
Merging Service Providers
Common Services VPN
Seperate Interface for Internet Connectivity
Multisite Internet Access
Implementing Basic MPLS TE

Target Audience
MPLS 2.2 is recommended for any individual responsible for designing, implementing, and/or troubleshooting MPLS networks or solutions based on MPLS technology. This course is also targeted at individuals interested in Cisco certifications - especially the CCIP (Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional) CCIP certification and CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert).

Prerequisites
Students enrolled in this course should have a previous exposure to advanced routing protocols including BGP, OSPF, and IS-IS. This course fully assumes knowledge of the configuration of all dynamic routing protocols, and this knowledge is a key element in the configuration of MPLS. Successful completion of the following courses (or equivalent experience) is strongly recommended:

Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO)
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND)
Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)

Expected Duration (hours)
