Junos MPLS Fundamentals On-Demand

This self-paced On-Demand eLearning course provides students with the knowledge required to design, implement, and troubleshoot the most crucial elements of a modern MPLS deployment in a real-world service provider production network. This course includes extensive coverage of the RSVP and LDP protocols and an introductory appendix on MPLS segment routing. Technologies covered include the MPLS data plane, RSVP bandwidth and priorities, backup and local repair paths, label-switched path (LSP) optimization, LDP enhancement and best practices, and a dedicated module on troubleshooting. This course includes a module on RSVP bandwidth and a wide variety of advanced RSVP features. Students gain experience with all of these protocols and features through a combination of modules and hands-on labs. This course includes audio and closed captioning in English as well as AI-generated closed captioning for German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Japanese. Watch a Sneak Peek

1	Course Introduction This module provides an overview of the course.	3m
2	MPLS - Introduction This module describes the BGP remote next-hop mechanic and hop-by-hop forwarding, it explains the original historical motivations for MPLS and alternative modern use cases for MPLS.	1h
3	MPLS - The Mechanics This module explains how labels are built and how they flow between routers. It also covers end-to-end data plane of a packet across a label-switch path. This module also summarizes the four primary protocols that can build label-switched paths.	1h 1m
4	MPLS - Static LSPs and the Forwarding Plane This module covers how to configure a service provider’s edge and core devices for MPLS, configure the headend router of an LSP, and the configuration's impact on the router’s inet.3 table. Further, it covers configuring transit routers and verifying their mpls.0 tables. This module also introduces you to the lab environment. It describes the topology of your lab, the benefits of logical systems, and how to navigate between logical systems on a main router. LAB: Static LSPs and the Forwarding Plane.	2h 15m
5	RSVP - Introduction This module explains the purpose, features, and advantages of RSVP. It explains configuring a service provider network to host RSVP label-switched paths.	24m
6	RSVP - Configuring a Basic LSP This module prepares you to configure and verify an RSVP label-switched path. It explains the purpose of MPLS self-ping and how an RSVP LSP is signaled and created.	42m
7	RSVP - The Traffic Engineering Database This module describes the purpose of the IS-IS/OSPF traffic engineering extensions. It explains how to configure and verify an LSP that uses the traffic engineering extensions to calculate its path and the impact that loose and strict hops can have on an LSP. LAB: RSVP LSPs.	2h 2m
8	JMF Activity 01 This activity reviews concepts in Modules 2 through Module 7.	20m
9	RSVP - LSP Bandwidth Reservation This module describes use cases for RSVP bandwidth reservations and the Path message objects, and how to configure LSP bandwidth reservations and verify the configuration.	36m
10	RSVP - LSP Priorities This module describes the default RSVP LSP priority levels, how to configure alternative settings, and how to configure LSP soft preemption to avoid downtime. LAB: RSVP - LSP Bandwidth and Priorities.	1h 46m
11	RSVP - Constrained Shortest Path First and Admin Groups This module explains the CSPF algorithm, tie breakers, and how to configure and verify admin groups on LSPs.	36m
12	RSVP - LSP Failures, Errors, and Session Maintenance This module describes the events that can tear down an LSP, and how RSVP has changed over the years from a soft-state protocol to a reliable stateful protocol.	23m
13	RSVP - Primary and Secondary Paths This module explains the use cases and configuration for primary and secondary paths, how to identify the benefits and trade-offs of standby secondary paths and the advantage of pre-installing backup paths to the forwarding table. LAB: RSVP - Primary and Secondary Paths.	1h 51m
14	RSVP - Local Repair: Part 1: One-to-One Backup or Fast Reroute This module explains how to protect against link failure and node failure, it covers two methods of local repair, and then discusses One-to-One backup.	47m
15	RSVP - Local Repair: Part 2: Facility Backup or Node-Link-Protection This module continues coverage of One-to-One backup, how to merge detour paths, and how One-to-One backups are created for each LSP It also explains how to verify that all is working. LAB: RSVP - One-to-One Backup and facility Backup.	1h 51m
