Description

The TRNG-0640 course is an in-depth study of deploying networks using MPLS. It focuses on features of Foundry Networks NetIron IMR-XMR Series of switches and routers including advanced technologies such VLL, VPLS, QoS, and Traffic Engineering. It covers network design, system configuration and troubleshooting using the Foundry IMR-XMR Series of switches and routers.

Audience

• Customers or Resellers who are experienced with Foundry Networks Products
• Network technicians with installation. configuration, and troubleshooting experience with Foundry Products
• Network Administrators responsible for implementing and managing small to large enterprise and ISP networks.
• Network support staff that will act as network device installers and first-line support for a local to global sized business environment.

Prerequisites

To fully benefit from this course you should attended the Advanced Switch/Router Configuration and Management (TRNG 405). It is also recommended that you have previous exposure to switching and routing issues in a Foundry Networks environment. You should posses a working knowledge of the listed technologies and the following personal hardware during the week of attendance:

Working Knowledge of:

• Inter-domain routing protocols (RIP, RIPv2, OSPF, static routes)
• Exterior-domain routing protocols (BGPv4)
• FNCNE level knowledge or equivalent of Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 IP routing
• Foundry Networks command line interface (CLI)

We strongly recommend students to bring their own PC to act as the console during labs.

Recommended Personal hardware

• Laptop Personal Computer with W95 (or higher)
• Ethernet NIC card
• CD Drive
• Serial Interface (DB9 or USB w/ DB9 adapter)

Objectives

After completing this course, the student will be able to:

• Implement advanced designs and configurations in MPLS Networks
• Implement advanced STP, OSPF and BGP features on Foundry Switches / Routers
• Implement Quality of Service in MPLS at both Layer 2 and Layer 3
• Design and configure and implement VPN networks
• Design and deploy Traffic Engineering in MPLS networks
• Interconnect Foundry Switches and Routers based on a MPLS network design
• Configure and troubleshoot design implementations using the CLI show commands
