Course overview

The Nokia Virtual Private Routed Networks (VPRN) course explains the concepts and operation of Layer 3 VPN technology and configuration based on multiprotocol label switching (MPLS). Upon completion of this course, students will understand VPRN design and be able to configure various VPRN topologies and proactively troubleshoot and monitor VPRN services. Students will also be able to describe the operation of Inter-AS VPRN model A, B, and C. The carrier supporting carrier solution is also covered. All use cases and lab exercises are based on the model-driven command-line interface (MD-CLI).
