Select and configure the appropriate label distribution protocol for a given set of requirements.Configure and verify RSVP-signaled and LDP-signaled LSPs.Describe the functionalities and operation of RSVP and LDP.Describe the configuration and verification of MPLS forwarding.Explain the MPLS label operations (push, pop, swap) and the concept of label-switched path (LSP).Describe the history and rationale for MPLS, as well as its basic terminology.This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring devices running the Junos OS.Īfter successfully completing this course, you should be able to: The concepts are put into practice with a series of in-depth hands-on labs, which will allow participants to gain experience in configuring and monitoring MPLS on Junos OS devices. Special emphasis is given to the central topics of traffic engineering and MPLS traffic protection, including fast reroute, link/node protection, and LDP Loop-Free Alternate. After introducing concepts such as MPLS forwarding and the structure of the MPLS header, the course will delve into the configuration and operation of the two main label distribution protocols, RSVP and LDP. This two-day course is designed to provide students with a solid foundation on Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
