About this course
Course Overview
The Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services (SPVI) course provides the knowledge and skills required to manage end-customer Virtual Private Network (VPN) environments built over a common service provider Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) backbone. Hands-on labs reinforce MPLS VPN fundamental concepts, benefits, and classification, MPLS components, MPLS control plane and data plane operations, MPLS VPN routing using Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF), Layer 2 and Layer 3 MPLS VPNs, IPv6 MPLS VPN implementations, IP Multicast VPNs, and shared services VPNs. Solutions for deploying MPLS VPN crossing multiple Service Provider domains that improve the use of network bandwidth is also covered in this course.Target Audience
Engineers looking to learn the techniques required to implement, configure, monitor and support Service Provider VPN solutions based on MPLS backbones.
