Description
Increase your proficiency in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) by taking this comprehensive Traffic Engineering (TE) course taught by lecturer Arash Deljoo. Network professionals who have a firm grasp of MPLS principles and are prepared to improve their skills in intelligent traffic management are the target audience for this advanced training. To maximize network resources, provide Service Level Agreements (SLAs) , and create extremely resilient infrastructures, you will learn how to manually manage data flows in addition to the default routes selected by Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs). The processes that underpin MPLS TE, such as constraint-based path computation and Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), are thoroughly examined in this module. Through comprehensive theory lectures and detailed, practical lab configurations, you will gain the expert-level skills needed to deploy and manage a sophisticated, traffic-engineered MPLS network.
Topics This Course Covers:
- Introduction to Traffic Engineering: Understand the limitations of traditional IGP routing and the need for granular traffic control in modern networks.
- MPLS TE Components: Explore the core building blocks, including TE-enabled IGPs (OSPF and IS-IS), Constrained Shortest Path First (CSPF), and the role of RSVP.
- Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP): Get a deep understanding of how RSVP is used for signaling, path setup, and bandwidth reservation for TE tunnels.
- Configuring MPLS TE Tunnels: Follow step-by-step demonstrations to build, configure, and verify MPLS TE tunnels from end to end.
- Path Selection and Management: Learn how to influence the path of a TE tunnel using both dynamic and explicit path options.
- Bandwidth Reservation: Master the techniques for reserving bandwidth across the network to ensure quality of service for critical applications.
- Fast Reroute (FRR): Implement link and node protection using MPLS TE Fast Reroute to achieve sub-50-millisecond convergence during network failures.
- Verification and Troubleshooting: Utilize essential show commands and debugging techniques to monitor tunnel status, resource allocation, and troubleshoot common TE issues.
Who Will Benefit From Taking This Course:
- CCNP and CCIE Candidates: Network engineers studying for professional or expert-level Cisco certifications.
- Service Provider Engineers: Professionals responsible for managing and optimizing large-scale core networks.
- Enterprise Network Architects: Designers who need to build resilient, high-performance WANs with predictable behavior.
- Network Professionals with MPLS Knowledge: Individuals who have mastered MPLS fundamentals and are ready for the next logical step in their learning path.
Why Take This Course:
Gaining expertise in MPLS Traffic Engineering is essential for moving from network operator to network architect. With this specific ability, you may prevent congestion, proactively manage your network's resources, and provide the high availability that contemporary enterprises want. With this comprehensive course, Arash Deljoo demystifies a difficult subject, giving you the knowledge and hands-on practice you need to successfully apply TE in a production setting. You are investing in a highly sought-after and valuable skill set by taking this course, which is essential for senior networking positions and will enable you to create and manage networks that are not only functional but also intelligent and optimized.
