Overview 

This is a five-day instructor-led course designed to provide learners with the knowledge that is needed to provide support in a service provider environment for services that are based on MPLS. These services include Cisco MPLS Traffic Engineering (Cisco MPLS TE), Layer 3 and Layer 2 MPLS virtual private networks (VPNs).



This course is part of the new SP Ops professional level career certification and will prepare and validate learner proficiency in monitoring and troubleshooting MPLS and associated technologies on the service provider core next generation networking network.
