Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services [SPVI]

OVERVIEW

The 5-day 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.

OBJECTIVES

After completing this course you should be able to:

• Describe VPN concepts and operation in a Service Provider environment
• Implement Layer 3 MPLS VPN operations in a Service Provider environment
• Implement Layer 3 Inter-domain MPLS VPN services traversing multiple Service Providers
• Implement Layer 3 Multicast MPLS VPN operations in a Service Provider environment
• Troubleshoot typical issues in Layer 3 MPLS VPN environments
• Implement Layer 2 VPN operations in a Service Provider environment
• Troubleshoot Layer 2 VPN issues in a Service Provider network
• Implement MPLS VPN solutions for IPv6 environments
• Troubleshoot MPLS VPN solutions for IPv6 environments
