This course provides technical training to Cisco service provider customers so that they can successfully deploy Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and other tunneling technologies on routers running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.0.1.
We examine fundamental MPLS and Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) operation and configuration as well as Layer 2 VPNs (L2VPNs), L3VPNs, MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE), Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), and Any Transport over MPLS (AToM).
Configure and verify MPLS LDP
Configure and verify L3VPN, L2VPN, and AToM
Configure and verify MPLS-TE
Configure and employ MPLS OAM
Implement LDP, L3VPN, L2VPN, and MPLS-TE
This course is for technical professionals who design, implement, and operate MPLS and other tunnel technologies in a service provider network employing routers using Cisco IOS XR Software.
The following are considered the primary audience for this course:
Network operations center (NOC) engineers
Support engineers
Students attending this class should be able to establish, without assistance, a configuration for Open Shortest Path First Version 2 (OSPFv2), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) with Routing Policy Language (RPL) policies as accomplished in the Cisco IOS XR IPv4 Routing course labs.
Students must have a basic understanding of MPLS configuration and operation as covered in the Cisco CRS-1 Essentials, Cisco IOS XR Fundamentals for Network Operations, or Cisco ASR 9000 Essentials course.
