Overview

This course covers MPLS theory and configuration, network design issues, and case studies as well as one major MPLS application: MPLS-based VPNs. The MPLS/VPN architecture and all its mechanisms are explained with configuration examples, suggested design and deployment guidelines, and extensive case studies. In short - a practical guide to understanding, designing, and deploying MPLS and MPLS-based VPNs. In addition, this course covers advanced topics and deployment architectures. It provides students with the necessary tools they need to deploy and maintain a secure, highly available VPN. It covers advanced MPLS VPN connectivity including the integration of service provider access technologies (dial, DSL, cable, Ethernet), a variety of routing protocols (IS-IS, EIGRP, and OSPF), advanced deployment issues including security, multi-carrier MPLS VPN deployments, advanced MPLS VPN troubleshooting and the latest advances in customer integration, security, and troubleshooting features essential to providing the advanced services based on MPLS VPN technology in a secure and scalable way.
