Course Overview

This three-day course is designed to provide students with MPLS-based Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) knowledge and configuration examples. The course includes an overview of MPLS L3VPN concepts, scaling L3VPNs, Internet access, interprovider L3VPNs, and multicast for L3VPNs. This course also covers Junos operating system (OS) specific implementations of Layer 3 VPNs. The concepts are put into practice with a series of hands-on labs, allowing participants to gain experience configuring and monitoring L3VPNs on Junos OS devices. These hands-on labs utilize the Juniper Networks vMX Series devices using the Junos OS Release 22.1R1.10 and are also applicable to other MX Series devices.

Course Objectives

  • Describe the purpose and functions of MPLS VPNs.
  • Describe the differences between Layer 2 VPNs (L2VPNs) and Layer 3 VPNs (L3VPNs).
  • Describe the roles of a customer edge (CE) device, provider edge (PE) router, and provider (P) router in a BGP Layer 3 VPN.
  • Describe the format of the BGP routing information, including VPN-IPv4 addresses and route distinguishers.
  • Describe the propagation of VPN routing information within an autonomous system (AS).
  • List the BGP design constraints to enable L3VPNs within a provider network.
  • Explain the operation of the L3VPN data plane within a provider network.
  • Create a routing instance, assign interfaces to a routing instance, create routes in a routing instance, and import/export routes from a routing instance using route distinguishers/route targets.
  • Describe the purpose of BGP extended communities, configure BGP extended communities, and use BGP extended communities.
  • List the steps necessary for the proper operation of a PE-CE dynamic routing protocol.
  • List the troubleshooting and monitoring techniques for routing instances.
  • Explain the difference between the bgp.l3vpn table and the inet.0 table of a routing instance.
  • Monitor the operation of a CE-PE dynamic routing protocol.
  • Describe ways to support communication between sites attached to a common PE router.
  • Provision and troubleshoot hub-and-spoke L3VPNs.
  • Describe the flow of control traffic and data traffic in a hub-and-spoke L3VPN.
  • Describe the quality of service (QoS) mechanisms available in L3VPNs.
  • Describe seamless MPLS fundamentals.
  • Describe the carrier-of-carriers model.
  • Configure the carrier-of-carriers and “Option C” configuration.
  • Describe the flow of control traffic and data traffic in BGP MVPN.
  • Describe the configuration steps for establishing a BGP MVPN.
  • Monitor and verify the operations of BGP MVPNs.
  • Describe the flow of control traffic and data traffic when using BGP MPVNs for Internet multicast.
  • Describe the configuration steps for enabling Internet multicast using BGP MVPNs.
  • Monitor and verify the operation of BGP MVPN Internet multicast
