Lab 1 - Verification and Summary4:06
Enable MPLS and LDP globally, configure LSR ID and loopback, and enable MPLS and LDP on interfaces. Verify P1 and P2 peers and label bindings to confirm proper MPLS operation.

Lab 4: Configuring PWE34:34
Lab 4: Verification and Summary5:10
Lab 5: Intro3:01
Configure pwe3 redundancy and perform a failover test to verify layer 2 vpn between c4 and c2 via p1, p2, and p3 with master and backup paths.
Lab 5: Basic MPLS Config Review5:41
Lab 5: Configuring PWE3 Redundancy12:26
Configure MPLS L2VC on ethernet trunk interfaces to provide an active L2VPN service between C2 and C4. Use P3 as active and P1/P2 as backup to ensure redundancy.
Lab 5: Failover Test and Summary8:42
Demonstrate failover of MPLS L2VCs with primary on P1 and secondary on P2, using bypass PWE3 between P1 and P2 to reach C4 via P3 when interfaces fail.
VPLS Definition and Terminology5:50
Explore how VPLS provides point-to-multipoint ethernet connectivity over an MPLS network, linking customer sites as a virtual layer-2 switch via attachment circuits, virtual circuits, and LDP/BGP signaling.
VPLS MAC Address Learning5:09
VPLS Loop Prevention2:47
Explain how an mpls network acts as a layer two switch and prevents vpls loops with split horizon rules, full meshing of p and pw, vci, and ac, plus stp.
Lab 6: Intro1:16
Lab 6: Basic Config Review1:56
Lab 6: Configuring VPLS - LDP15:18
Lab 6: Summary2:03
Lab 7: Intro0:32
Lab 7: Configuring VPLS - BGP12:25
Configure VPLS with BGP on Huawei devices by adding peers, enabling IPv4 unicast, and configuring PW signaling with route distinguisher and VPN target, then bind VSI and verify MPLS LDP.
Lab 7: Summary and Verification5:06
Test IP connectivity among customer sites two, three, and one using ping, confirming BGP signaling for VLANs. Configure BGP peers and route distinguishers, VPN target, then verify peers are established.
L2VPN Service َQuiz

MPLS TE Definition4:05
CR-LSP Constrains5:39

Description

Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is one of the most interesting and hot topics in Service Provider and Telecom world, the course will introduce MPLS basics, fundamentals, definition, MPLS services (L3VPN and L2VPN - PWE3 / VPLS) and MPLS Traffic Engineering. The course is presented in 6 and half hours in English with video lectures in presentation slides, hand-written examples, and hand-on labs to explain the theory of MPLS and its services plus applying them in practise labs. The course focuses on hands-on labs (provided in videos ) over Huawei vendor.

Upon completing the course, you will be familiar with what the MPLS Network is, its components, and MPLS Architecture, how the MPLS Network operates, understand L3VPN technology with its terminologies, understand L2VPN (PWE3 and VPLS), MPLS Traffic Engineering technology and its terminologies.

A variety of labs are provided in this course (Configuring MPLS, Configuring L3VPN Service, Configuring L2VPN (PWE3) service, PWE3 Redundancy with failover test, Configuring VPLS service, Configuring MPLS TE tunnels and TE tunnel policy for forwarding traffic). Basic configuration files are attached and available in the resources section of each lab, plus all configuration files used in the labs are attached as well. You will be familiar to configure OSPF, MPLS, LDP, L3VPN instances, MP-BGP, and PWE3 on Huawei Routers, plus verifying their configuration.

The course includes quizzes and assignments to test and ensure your knowledge upon completing each section, and upon entirely completing the course.
