Duration:

40.00 hours

32.5 CPD hours

Overview:

The Implementing Cisco Multiprotocol Label Switching training teaches you the high-performance method for forwarding packets through a network. MPLS enables routers at the edge of a network to apply simple labels to packets. This practice allows the edge devices to switch packets according to labels, with minimal lookup overhead. MPLS integrates the performance and traffic-management capabilities of data link Layer 2 with the scalability and flexibility of network Layer 3 routing. When used in conjunction with other standard technologies, MPLS gives the ability to support value-added features.

Please note that this course lab access is valid for 60 hours or 90 days whichever is the shorter, so please ensure you exit the lab exercises when not in use.

How You'll Benefit


- Acquire the skill of implementing MPLS high-performance methods for forwarding packets in a network
- Learn to configure routers at the network edge to apply simple labels to packets
- Gain the knowledge to enable edge devices, ATM switches, or existing routers to switch packets based on labels within the service provider core
- Master the skill of minimizing lookup overhead in the packet-switching process
- Gain proficiency in integrating the performance and traffic-management capabilities of data-link Layer 2 using MPLS
- Acquire the skill of combining the scalability and flexibility of network Layer 3 routing through MPLS
- Learn to leverage MPLS with other standard technologies to implement value-added features for service providers' networks
