Explore MPLS basics and a sample topology through hands-on lab work in the even g network simulator, covering VRF lite, MPLS layer three VPNs, and BGP configurations on edge routers.
Install Eve-NG by downloading the community edition ova, importing it into workstation pro, and configuring a static ip and dns; then install the integration package for Windows or Mac.
Install the Cisco virtual router and switch in eve-ng by creating a vios folder via ssh, uploading the iOS images with SFTP, and booting devices to verify version 15.7.
Log into Eve-NG using native or HTML5 consoles, create labs with routers, switches, and virtual devices, and export or import startup configs to share your labs.
Explore how VRF and VRF Lite create separate virtual routers on one physical device, isolating routing and forwarding tables and enabling segmentation within MPLS L3 VPN architecture.
Configure VRF-Lite on three routers by creating red, green, and blue VRFs, binding interfaces and subinterfaces to each VRF, and assigning IP addresses and VLANs to enable isolated traffic.
Explore how MPLS uses labels to forward IP packets, reduce core router load, and support services like VPNs, traffic engineering, and unicast/multicast routing.
Learn how MPLS layer 3 VPNs connect customer locations over a shared provider network, using VRFs to isolate traffic and enable route exchange across provider edge routers.
Describe how MPLS layer 3 VPNv4 uses route distinguishers to create unique 96-bit prefixes and how VRF and MP-BGP routes are redistributed across the C and P routers.
Configure a mpls sample lab topology across provider and customer edge routers, implementing vrf, vfs, ntp, and mp-bgp, and proceed from ip configurations to routing, enabling mpls, and redistributing routes.
Configure ip addresses across ce and pe routers in the lab topology using the specified subnets, save the configurations, and prepare for subsequent routing configurations.
Configure is-is routing across four provider routers to ensure traffic flow, establish area one level one neighbors with wide metrics, and prepare MPLS enablement in the next lesson.
Enable mpls ip on each router, assign label ranges (100–199 on pe1, 200–299 on r2, 300–399 on r3, 400–499 on pe4), and include the correct interfaces in the mpls domain.
Configure mp-bgp over mpls between provider edge routers one and four and establish vpnv4 sessions. Verify routing table and mpls forwarding table, test connectivity with pings.
Learn to configure VRFs on provider edge routers in MPLS networks, using VRF definitions, route targets, and VPN communities to export/import IPv4/IPv6 routes for customers A and B.
Configure ospf between ce routers and vrfs on the provider edge, establish external bgp between ce and vrf, and redistribute vrf routes into mp-bgp to enable site-wide route learning.
Learn to configure redistribution between OSPF, BGP, and EGP across VRFs in an MPLS network, verify route propagation with VPNv4, and ensure site-to-site connectivity.

To participate in the training, you must have received the Cisco CCNA, Cisco CCNP Enterprise Core 350-401 ENCOR and Cisco CCNP Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services 300-410 ENARSI training.
If you haven't taken these tutorials, you should be familiar with Rip, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS and BGP Routing, because we will be using all of these routing protocols in the MPLS configuration.
We will activate the MPLS application step by step in the training, first we will configure the IP address of the devices in our sample topology, in the 2nd step we will configure the routing in the MPLS Domain (Provider Network), in the 3rd step we will enable MPLS on the routers in the MPLS Domain, 4 In step . we will configure MP-BGP between PE Routers, in step 5 we will create VRFs for Customer-A and B on the PE Router, in step 6 we will configure routing between CE Routers and VRFs, in step 7 and last In this step, we will perform our tests and finalize our configuration by performing redistribution operations on the PE Router.
We will do the laboratory applications in education with the Eve-NG Network simulation program. I will explain in detail how to download the program and how to use it.
I tried to convey this training to you in the best way with my 23 years of experience in the sector. I had a lot of fun while preparing the training, I have no doubt that you will enjoy watching it too.
In order to offer you the best sound quality, I used a quality microphone while shooting.
If you watch videos in Auto mode, you can watch them in 1080P if your screen resolution and internet speed are sufficient.
