This intermediate MPLS training prepares learners to understand multiprotocol label switching, or MPLS, and how to use it to improve their large, distributed networks and prevent dropped packets.
Multiprotocol label switching is one of the more powerful tools that a network engineer has at their disposal to ensure traffic goes where it's intended without sacrificing speed or stability. Often, it can be something of a balancing act to get the pieces of a wide-area network to talk to one another and remain fast, stable and secure. But with MPLS, you can introduce a different addressing schema that routes traffic throughout your virtual or physical networks faster and more efficiently without sacrificing security.
This MPLS training will show you the MPLS ropes and get you ready for implementing it on your networks.
After finishing the videos in this Cisco Network Engineer Foundations: How MPLS Works training, you'll know how to understand multiprotocol label switching, or MPLS, and how to use it to improve your large, distributed networks and prevent dropped packets.
For anyone who leads a technology team, this Cisco training can be used to onboard new network admins, curated into individual or team training plans, or as a Cisco reference resource.
Cisco Network Engineer Foundations: How MPLS Works: What You Need to Know
This Cisco Network Engineer Foundations: How MPLS Works training has videos that cover topics including:
- Implementing Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
- Understanding MPLS QoS
- Preventing dropped packets in low-connectivity environments
Who Should Take Cisco Network Engineer Foundations: How MPLS Works Training?
This Cisco Network Engineer Foundations: How MPLS Works training is considered associate-level Cisco training, which means it was designed for network admins. This MPLS skills course is designed for network admins with three to five years of experience with Cisco networking.
New or aspiring network admins. Brand new network administrators should plan on taking this MPLS training and learn how to tag packets passing through their network with small headers that are easy to parse and fast to process. This training will make you a more capable administrator as it prepares you for advanced network engineering.
Experienced network admins. If you've been working as a network administrator for several years, this MPLS training is a perfect way to get a quick understanding of the powerful label switching technology. Take this course and see if you should be implementing MPLS across your whole network, and find out what more advanced configuration skills you'll need to do so.
