These are the MPLS courses.  The courses in this category are 100% Instructor Led either in person at your site or a site close to you, or via Online meeting tools such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, HP Rooms, or Webex.

A strong understanding of MPLS is important in modern service provider and enterprise networks because:

  • Enables scalable, efficient packet forwarding using label-based switching instead of IP lookups
  • Forms the backbone of many service provider, carrier, and enterprise WAN networks
  • Provides visibility into label distribution, forwarding behavior, and path selection
  • Supports troubleshooting of core network issues such as label mismatches, path failures, and forwarding anomalies
  • MPLS L3 VPNs deliver secure, scalable multi-customer networks with routing separation
  • MPLS Traffic Engineering allows control of traffic paths to optimize bandwidth and avoid congestion

MPLS 101 WBD - MPLS Fundamentals Hands-On Course

This is the WEB BASED DELIVERY version of MPLS-101. In this course, we will focus on the fundamentals of MPLS and LDP configuration.  We also examine some of the basic MPLS options such as label distribution constraint and TTL propagation.

MPLS 201 WBD - MPLS Layer 3 VPNs Hands On Course

This is the WEB BASED DELIVERY version of MPLS-201. In this course we will focus on MPLS Layer 3 VPN's with BGP Label Distribution.  We will learn how to set up simple full mesh VPN's as well as more complex hub and spoke designs.

MPLS 301 WBD - Traffic Engineering Hands-On Course

This is the WEB BASED DELIVERY version of MPLS-301.  In this course we focus on MPLS Traffic Engineering tunnels where RSVP-TE is used to set up tunnels and advertise labels.  We will set up dynamic and explicit tunnels as well as examine TE tunnel options.

MPLS 302 WBD - Segment Routing in MPLS-TE Hands-On Course

This is the WEB BASED DELIVERY version of MPLS-302.  In this course we focus on Segment Routing as it pertains to MPLS Traffic Engineering and SDN.  We will explore SR using an emulated lab environment with a controller to explore SR.

MPLS 401 WBD - MPLS Layer 2 VPNs Hands-On Course

This is the WEB BASED DELIVERY version of MPLS-401 Layer 2 VPNs Hands On Course.  In this course we will focus on Ethernet over MPLS, examining the encapsulation, targeted LDP advertisement of labels, and the point-to-point VPWS vs. multipoint VPLS options.
