Hands-On Advanced MPLS Functions
Course ID: CSI-HO-003
Course Description:
MPLS continues to gain popularity and usage as well as development of new features from the IETF, IEEE and Cisco customers. Knowing the advanced features that have been added to MPLS, MPLS L3VPNs, and MPLS Traffic Engineering such as Multicast, OA&M, Provider to Provider MPLS, and Traffic Protection is vital to anyone who is in the networking field today, whether it be Service Provider level or Enterprise level. This insightful and revealing course has been designed to focus on the systems approach, the engineering thinking behind the evolving world of MPLS Networking.
The course is a combination of knowledge training, systems analysis, with hands-on exercises using Cisco routers and Cisco IOS, revealing the details and opportunities of Advanced MPLS and the common control plane in a swift, comprehensive, and understandable way.
