Deploying MPLS

Description
The TRNG-0640 course is an in-depth study of deploying networks using MPLS. It focuses on features of Foundry Networks NetIron IMR-XMR Series of switches and routers including advanced technologies such VLL, VPLS, QoS, and Traffic Engineering. It covers network design, system configuration and troubleshooting.

Who will benefit?
Anyone working with MPLS on Foundry devices.

Prerequisites
To fully benefit from this course you should have a working knowledge of the listed technologies:
OSPF, Static routes, BGP, layer 2 switching, Foundry CLI.

Objectives
By the end of the course delegates will be able to:

Implement advanced designs and configurations in MPLS Networks.
Implement advanced STP, OSPF & BGP features on Foundry Switches / Routers
Implement Quality of Service in MPLS at both Layer 2 and Layer 3
Design and configure and implement VPN networks.
Design and deploy MPLS TE.
Interconnect Foundry Switches/Routers based on a MPLS network design.
Configure and troubleshoot design implementations using the CLI show commands

Duration: 5 days
