Course Overview

Advanced Implementing and Troubleshooting MPLS VPN Networks is a five-day instructor-led course. Traditionally ISPs and large Enterprise networks have used overlay or peer-to-peer models without their inherent detriments. This course teaches attendees how to implement, deploy, and troubleshoot MPLS VPNs in a variety of large scale network scenarios.

To ensure attendees maximize their learning, students learn to build the MPLS VPN network using a building block approach. Attendees begin by guilding and scaling Intranet and Extranet MPLS VPN network. Once complete, students and Internet access to the VPNs using several commonly encountered methods. These complex networks are then migrated to multiple Autonomous System (AS) where Inter-AS VPNs and Carrier Supporting Carrier VPNs are implemented. As each technology scenario is introduced and implemented, a heavy focus is placed on troubleshooting and correcting "real world" problems. Finally, attendees troubleshoot connectivity and transport problems that are inserted into the network by the instructor.

Prerequisites

You will gain the most from this course if you have a basic understanding of the following topics:

• Configure a Cisco IOS device using the command line interface (CLI) as taught in Interconnecting CIsco Network Devices (ICND).
• Describe in detail how IP routing and routers operate, including how network protocols function, and how IP addressing and subnetting works as taught in ICND and Building Scalable Internetworks (BSCI).
• Configure and troubleshoot IP routing and route redistribution in large scale networks using OSPF, RIPv2, and static routing protocols as taught in ICND and BSCI.
• Configure and troubleshoot basic MPLS functionality as taught in MPLS Technology Essentials (MPLSTE) and ISP Workshop and MPLS (IFMV).

Course Objectives

After completing this course the student should have the following skills and knowledge:

• Identify methods of deploying MPLS VPNs in a variety of network scenarios
• Select the best MPLS VPN method to implement for a given network scenario
• Implement the chosen MPLS VPN solution and verify that is functioning as intended
• Identify and troubleshoot frequently encountered MPLS VPN problems in each implemented scenario
