In this course, we will cover all the fundamentals of MPLS. We will be discussing why MPLS was implemented, the terminology used in an MPLS environment, and the configurations used in MPLS, concentrating in using Layer 3 VPNs.
We will discuss the LDP protocol, what labels are, and how they get forwarded it to other LDR Routers. Using the hands-on lab we will get to see how these labels get forwarded and we will be configuring multiple IGP routing protocols along with BGP to get information across our network.
We will be creating multiple types of VPNs and through the use of Route Targets and Route Reflectors, we'll demonstrate how packets can be manipulated in a particular direction.
We will definitely be creating Provider Edge routers and Customer Edge Routers and have customers within the same company communicate with each other and different companies also be able to communicate with each other through VPN.
We will also learn how to create VRFs in order to make all this possible, as well as understand the CEF, LFIB, LRIB, and much more tables in order to troubleshoot MPLS.
