Explore the fundamentals of mpls on MikroTik and run hands-on labs, including bgp inside an isp and vpn scenarios, to understand mpls usage, vpns, and layer 2/3 concepts.
MPLS layer 3 VPN, part 1, walks through configuring a two-site customer network using VRF on PE routers, LDP, EBGP/IBGP, and VPNv4 route targets with import/export policies.
Demonstrates configuring MikroTik mpls layer 3 vpn, building ebgp sessions between p and c routers, advertising prefixes, and validating vpn routes are learned and isolated across sites.
Configure mpls ldp and vpls to build layer 2 vpn connectivity between two offices, creating vpn interfaces, bridging them, and preventing loops with horizon.
MPLS is a protocol that runs inside the ISP networks. Deploying MPLS is always a challenge because of its complexity. However, MPLS has a much better performance than any other routing protocol because it works on Labels for the routing decision and it works on layer 2.5 instead of layer 3 as other routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF and BGP.
Using MPLS, the ISP will be able to have a lot of benefits from feature that it provides such as Layer 3 VPN using VRF, Layer 2 VPN using VPLS, Traffic Engineering Tunnels and much more.
In this course, I will go through MPLS from scratch, so I am going to explain to you what MPLS is exactly and how it works, then i am going to start doing labs to cover all topics possibles in MPLS.
Topics that I am going to cover in this course are:
Introduction to MPLS
MPLS Basics, MPLS Labels and MPLS Filtering
MPLS Layer3 VPN - VRF
MPLS Layer 2 VPN - VPLS
MPLS Traffic Engineering
All the course will be based on hands-on LABS, so by end of the course you will have a big understanding of how to deploy MPLS in your ISP using MikroTik Routers.
To be able to follow this course, you can use GNS3 because in some LABS we require to have up to 7 MikroTik Routers. Of course if you have those routers than you can deploy them and work on physical routers to to the LABS.
Finally, If you have to master MPLS on MikroTik and understand how it works, I highly advise you to register in my course and get all the information that i am going to share with you.
