What is MPLS VPN

Where MPLS LDP will be configured?

How PE1 will recognize & separate Different CE routes?

Configuring vrf table and assign it to an interface  for IPv4, IPv6

How PE will solve any ipv4 address overlapping between different customers?

How PE will communicate with CE and getting routes from CE?

How PE1 & PE2 will send customers routes to each other?

How PE1 & PE2 MP-BGP will understand which routes belong to each customer ? and how we will import or export these routes?

Difference between route distinguisher and route-target:

Configuring MP-BGP

Configuring RT’s

Configure Redistribution between MP-BGP and the method used to connect PE to CE ( Static routes,

IGP)

Configuring PE-CE connectivity

-Connected Routes

-Static Routes

-RIPv2

-OSPF

-EIGRP

-EBGP

EIGRP PE-CE with Backdoor Links soo

Steps to configure MPLS VPN

MPLS VPN Labs

-Configure IGP between PE’s & P’s

-Configure MPLS LDP between PE’s & P’s

-Configure VRF, RD, RT and assign VRF to PE interface facing CE

-Configure MP-BGP between PE’s (Creating VPNV4 tunnel)

-Configure Static Route, IGP or BGP between PE’s & CE’s:  Static Route

-Configure Redistribution between MP-BGP and Static Route

-Configure Static Route, IGP or BGP between PE’s & CE’s: RIP

-Configure Redistribution between MP-BGP and RIP

-Configure Static Route, IGP or BGP between PE’s & CE’s: OSPF

-Configure Redistribution between MP-BGP and OSPF

-OSPF Domain ID Issue

-Configure Static Route, IGP or BGP between PE’s & CE’s: EIGRP

-Configure Redistribution between MP-BGP and EIGRP

-Configure Static Route, IGP or BGP between PE’s & CE’s: EBGP

-What as-override & as-allows in mean?

-Configure Redistribution between MP-BGP and EBGP

Backup Link issues with OSPF, EIGRP, EBGP

-OSPF Backup Link & Sham Link

-EIGRP with Soo

 MPLS VPN Route Leaking

-Route Leaking Between Different VRFs

-Route Leaking between P routers & CE VRFs

-Internet Access from an MPLS VPN Using a Global Routing Table
