Course: MPLS Implementing MPLS

Course Summary

This course is designed to provide lectures and comprehensive hands-on labs ranging from technology basics to more updated features and functions such as complex VPNs. The focus of the course is on MPLS technology issues as they apply to service providers and on how to configure new features and functions in an existing routed environment. A basic introductory level of some of the more updated features and functions such as Traffic Engineering, Fast Reroute and Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) are introduced on a concept level only and the MPLS Traffic Engineering and other Features course should be taken for in depth understanding of those topics.
