Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services (SPVI) v1.0

The Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services (SPVI) v1.0 course prepares you to manage end-customer VPN environments built over a common service provider Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) backbone.

You will complete hands-on labs to reinforce MPLS VPN fundamental concepts, benefits, and classification; MPLS components; MPLS control plane and data plane operations; MPLS VPN routing using Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF); Layer 2 and Layer 3 MPLS VPNs; IPv6 MPLS VPN implementations; IP Multicast VPNs; and shared services VPNs. The course also covers solutions for deploying MPLS VPN crossing multiple service provider domains that improve the use of network bandwidth.

This course helps you prepare for the Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services (300-515 SPVI) exam. By passing this exam, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist - Service Provider VPN Services Implementation certification, and you satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the CCNP Service Provider certification.
