Share Description
Take your Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) skills to the next level with this complete training on Traffic Engineering (TE) from instructor Arash Deljoo. This advanced course is designed for network professionals who have a solid understanding of MPLS fundamentals and are ready to master the art of intelligent traffic management. You'll move beyond the default paths chosen by Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) and learn how to explicitly control data flows to optimize network resources, guarantee Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and build highly resilient infrastructures. This program provides a deep dive into the mechanisms that power MPLS TE, including Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) and constraint-based path calculation. 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:
Mastering MPLS Traffic Engineering is a key differentiator that elevates you from a network operator to a network architect. This specialized skill allows you to proactively manage your network's resources, prevent congestion, and deliver the high availability that modern businesses demand. In this complete training, Arash Deljoo demystifies a complex topic, providing the clarity and practical experience you need to confidently implement TE in a production environment. By completing this course, you are investing in a high-demand, high-value skill set that is critical for senior networking roles and will empower you to design and maintain networks that are not just functional, but truly optimized and intelligent.
