Course Description

MPLS is one of the topics in the CCNA exam! You need to have a fundamental understanding of MPLS to prepare for your exam. This course explains what MPLS is, how it works and then shows you practically how to configure core MPLS and MPLS L3VPNs.

This course goes deeper to CCNP level to ensure that you are comfortable with both the CCNA exam topics as well as have knowledge for CCNP exams.

This course is practical and shows you how to configure multiple routers (P, PE, CE) using GNS3.

Learn MPLS terms such as C, P, PE, Label, PHP, VRF, MBGP, label pop, label impose, label swap and more

Learn how to configure core MPLS routers (P and PE)

Learn what labels look like with Wireshark

Learn how to redistribute between MBGP and OSPF

Learn how to configure VRFs

Learn how to configure multiple instances of OSPF

Learn about label stacking and how labels are displayed in the CEF table

This course uses GNS3 to demonstrate multiple P routers, multiple PE routers and multiple CE routers. You can now build an entire MPLS network on your laptop using GNS3!

no detail explain about technology , you start technical implementation, with not explanation, it is quite hard for follow

By Power Ranger on 10/23/2019

If you could put IP addresses of routers on the diagram, it will help follow you much better. When you open your terminal to each router, there isn't any name on the terminal, so if we missed to see on which router you logged in, it's hard to stay focused as we start wondering which router/device you're working on.

As Mr Bombal said a few times in the course, he covered much more than you will need to know for CCNA, which I personally like. It helps to understand the 'why' behind the technologies, which for me is huge to understanding the material. I am way beyond the CCNA level of understand in general, but when I got my CCNA about 20 years ago, MPLS wasn't a thing. Naturally, I have worked with it for many years, but only superficially, typically as a client of an MPLS provider. I am looking to re-certify CCIE, and need to brush up on some technologies that I have not worked directly with. This course was a great way to start the study of MPLS for CCIE.

As always David deliver a great quality material. Love his method because he always explain clearly and to the point. Take this free course looking to gain more Knowles in MPLS because i already pass the CCNA R&S but i need to land in a network support role at some point and i know MPLS is a big plus to know. Thanks David and i wish you all the very best too!!!! Happy Holidays.

Great intro course for MPLS. Only a minor thing to note is he states something to the effect of the Router ID for OSPF being in the VRF. Router ID is a 32 bit number. The Router will choose to use a loopback address to populate the 32 bit number if not manually assigned, but it is not technically an IP Address. You could use 0.0.0.1 for a RID and it would work just fine. However, each OSPF process does need to have its own 32 bit number as he stated. I wish I learned about that RID is just a 32 bit number years ago. For some reason most of the lab and training content chooses to use an IP address which makes people think it has to be an IP for OSPF. Some of the other Routing protocols like BGP it does need to be an IP Address. Great use of GNS3 and packet captures. I liked everything else about it.

I needed some course like that to refresh my knowledge in MPLS. David Bombal always explain it perfectly, i advice all of his videos, tutorials and youtube channel because he interview a lot of people and you can be up to date with the new technology that is coming now. One of the most important course that i have is the Python Programming for Network Engineers. In this case the MPLS for my job is very important and see again this videos help me a lot.

Great help in understanding the MPLS in real world, Being working at customer sites always had an doubt about how does packets move in such huge mpls cloud of a service provider. Hoping some Quality of Service videos from David that could relate more the real world scenarios.

By Nathan Craynon on 2/21/2018

These are excellent, I really like the GNS3 network visual in combination with the explanation of theory. I will def purchase more courses from David Bombal... Bombal is excellent, I only wish he had a CCNP R/S course as well. I would def purchase...

By John Smith on 12/4/2017

Very practical and always to the point. David is super passionate about teaching and has sincerely done the job well. I have enjoyed and learned every second of the material in this course. The explanation using the faster and attractive technology was very impressive and easy to understand. Hats-off for David Sir in such wonderful course. I will always follow him from now-on. Cheers! Happy New Year 2018 !

Concetti base spiegati in modo molto comprensivo. Ottimo corso per chi ha poca conoscenza e vuole capire concetti base. Mostra una configurazione base non solo del MPLS al core level ma anche del edge level con configurazione del CPE, PE , OSPF, VRF e BGP
