Prerequisite:
BGP, QoS, MPLS or equivalent background
Course Description:

The Implementing Cisco MPLS Traffic Engineering
and Other Features (MPLST) course is recommended
training for individuals seeking advanced MPLS
based knowledge and skills. The course will enable
learners to gather information from the technology
basics to some of the more updated features and
functions such as Traffic Engineering, Carrier
Supporting Carrier and Any Transport over MPLS
(AToM). The focus of the course is on technology
issues of MPLS from the Service Providers
perspective and how to configure some of those
features and functions in an existing routed
environment.

Course Objectives:

After completing this course the student should be
able to:
Identify MPLS's peer-to-peer architecture and
explain label allocation, routing update
distribution and packet forwarding model in
this architecture
Given a working MPLS network and diagram of
a network, used the CISCO IOS commands
required to successfully configure, monitor,
and troubleshoot service provider support
using the MPLS Carrier supporting Carrier
service.
Identify the MPLS Traffic Engineering
architecture and explain how MPLS implements
traffic engineering, establishes the constraint-
based path and assigning traffic to traffic
trunks
Given a working MPLS network and diagram of
a network, used the CISCO IOS commands
required to successfully configure, monitor,
and troubleshoot MPLS Traffic Engineering.
Given a working MPLS network and diagram of
a network, used the CISCO IOS commands
required to successfully implement a defined
SLA using the MPLS QoS services
Given a working MPLS network and diagram of
a network, used the CISCO IOS commands
required to successfully configure, monitor,
and troubleshoot layer-2 services using the
Any Transport over MPLS service.
Given a working MPLS network and diagram of
a network, used the CISCO IOS commands
required to successfully configure, monitor,
and troubleshoot IPv6 support in a MPLS
environment.
