CTR 8740 Advanced MPLS Features
Microwave Routers
The Aviat Networks Advanced MPLS Features course is recommended for design, field and operations personnel who design, deploy, configure and operate IP networking equipment involving advanced routing protocols and IP/MPLS. This Three-day instructor-led course builds on foundational routing and networking knowledge and introduces MPLS. This is followed by an in-depth overview of MPLS technology, including concepts, services, architecture, configuration, design issues, operations, troubleshooting, LDP, L2-VPN, L3-VPN, QoS.
The course content is enriched with hands-on labs (nearly 50% of the course duration) and case studies that offer students scenarios they will face in real deployments in their networks. All labs are conducted on the Aviat CTR 8740 microwave router platform equipment enriched with the latest MPLS Advanced software.
Courses are conducted by AVIAT expert trainers in a mentoring environment backed by their deep technology expertise and experience in implementation of microwave wireless and IP/MPLS networks.
Upon successfully completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Learn MPLS concepts, terminology, objectives and applications.
- Develop a strong understanding of implementing MPLS-based applications using L2VPNs, L3VPNs.
- Participants must have completed the Aviat CTR 8740 L3 routing Protocols (OSPF / BGP) or having a high knowledge those routing protocol.
- Each student must have a laptop with administrative rights to install and run IP networking simulation software.
