FAQs

What will you learn in this MPLS fundamentals training?

You'll learn the advanced routing technique that gets traffic from one place to another not based on addresses but based on labels – MPLS. Multiprotocol label switching and the essentials of thinking with it – along with actually implementing and configuring it – is the main takeaway of this course.

Who should take this MPLS fundamentals course?

This MPLS course is fairly advanced and relies on a foundation of networking knowledge, so the ideal audience is network administrators with several years of experience under their belt. Network engineers – or networking professionals who want to eventually become network engineers – should also consider taking this MPLS course.

Is this training in the fundamentals of MPLS associated with any certifications?

No, this MPLS course isn't designed to prepare you for any certification exams. The exams that you have to pass to earn a certification can tend to be padded with extra information and a lot of memorization – this course only focuses on the actual use cases of MPLS.

What certification should you consider after taking this course in the fundamentals of MPLS?

It's hard to say what certification someone might consider after taking this course since it's an advanced course on a specific topic. After this course, Cisco's CCNP Enterprise or CCNP Data Center might be easier, and the administration techniques you'll learn in this course could help with CompTIA's Network+.

Why should you take this MPLS fundamentals training?

You should take this MPLS training because using labels to direct traffic from one node to another can massively improve your network's speed. If you want to be the sort of network administrator who recommends and configures highly technical enterprise routing solutions, you should take this course.

Who is this for?

This MPLS Fundamentals training is based on engineer-level networking training, which means it was designed for senior network administrators and network engineers.
