This advanced course focuses on designing, deploying, and troubleshooting Layer 2 and Layer 3 provider-provisioned MPLS virtual private networks (VPNs).


Objectives

This is an intensive hands-on workshop, with students participating in a variety of configuration and troubleshooting scenarios. Each student team controls its own provider-edge (PE) and customer-edge (CE) router pairing, with the class sharing three provider routers that form the provider core.


Intended Audience

The primary audiences for this course include personnel who are responsible for the provisioning, deployment, and troubleshooting of provider-provisioned MPLS VPNs based on Juniper Networks M-series and T-series routers.


Course Level

This is an advanced-level course.


Prerequisites

Students should either have taken the Configuring Juniper Networks Routers class or have the equivalent experience from working with JUNOS Internet software in a production environment. A working knowledge of OSPF or IS-IS, BGP4, JUNOS policy, and MPLS is required for the hands-on portions of this workshop.
