Overview
The duration of this course is 24 hours, and it is eligible for 40 CE credits towards recertification.
The Implementing Cisco Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) training teaches you the high-performance method for forwarding packets through a network. MPLS enables routers at the edge of a network to apply simple labels to packets. This practice allows the edge devices to switch packets according to labels, with minimal lookup overhead. MPLS integrates the performance and traffic-management capabilities of data link Layer 2 with the scalability and flexibility of network Layer 3 routing. When used in conjunction with other standard technologies, MPLS gives the ability to support value-added features.
How You’ll Benefit
This training will help you:
- Acquire the skill of implementing MPLS high-performance methods for forwarding packets in a network
- Learn to configure routers at the network edge to apply simple labels to packets
- Gain the knowledge to enable edge devices, ATM switches, or existing routers to switch packets based on labels within the service provider core
- Master the skill of minimizing lookup overhead in the packet-switching process
- Gain proficiency in integrating the performance and traffic-management capabilities of data-link Layer 2 using MPLS
- Acquire the skill of combining the scalability and flexibility of network Layer 3 routing through MPLS
- Learn to leverage MPLS with other standard technologies to implement value-added features for service providers’ networks

What happens once I purchase a class?
You will receive a receipt and an enrollment confirmation sent to the email you submitted at purchase. Your enrollment email will have instructions on how to access the class. Any additional questions our team is here to support you. Please call us at 469-721-6100.
What is your late policy?
If a student is 15 minutes late, they risk losing their seat to a standby student. If a student is 30 minutes late or more, they will need to reschedule. A no-show fee will apply. Retakes are enrolled on a stand-by basis. The student must supply previously issued courseware. Additional fees may apply.
What happens when I finish my class?
You will receive a ‘Certificate of Completion’ once you complete the class. If you purchased an exam voucher for the class, a team member from TOPTALENT LEARNING will reach out to discuss your readiness for the voucher and make arrangements to send it.
