RE: MPLS VPN [7:38749]

So the answer is it depends! On what type of interface you are running. If you are using the Flexwan or Optical Service modules, then yes, it supports ingree and egress MPLS L3 VPNs as a PE. You also need a SUP2/MSFC2/PFC2 to do this. Might want to be running Native code set also. The issue r

Komy, So the SRM provides front card redundancy, not back card. So the Y cable will protect you against a back card failure, the SRM allows you to protect your connections in the case of a front card failure. If that doesn't make sense, let me know! Hope this helps! Regards, Dan Message Po

John, What kind of circuits do you have today. The cool thing about MPLS is that lets say your have a lot of Frame-Relay circuits. As a service provider, I could take those FR circuits in and give you a full-mesh. How, by using MPLS VPNs. So what I do now is pay attention to your ip routing,

So to answer your original question, yes! So what do you have to study. Well you might want to know how to set up simple label switching. This includes P and PE. You might also want to setup VPNs using OSPF and IS-IS as the transit IGP. You might also want to set it up using MP-BGP. Also pla

Also depends on what you are preparing for. If you are prepping for the C&S, you will need an LS1010. It supports cell mode MPLS with P functionality. Also supports VPNs and TE. If you use another vendors gear, you might not have those features you will need for the lab! Hope this helps! Reg

I think a little more precisely it is refering to the layer 4 protocol. That may be UDP for example if you are running VoIP. It could be TCP. So I would say that it depends on the application and what layer it affects. Hope this helps! Regards, Dan Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.

Nabil, Could be several reasons. IPX is chatty to begin with and this doesn't suit 802.11b well to begin with. Where are you located versus the Access Point? If you are right on top of it, you are getting got bandwidth, far away, maybe a megabit. I currently do ot have any customer running IP

Tom, You do not have to configure RPF. It is an automatic mechanism. It is part of PIM protocol. It is used to prevent loops. The interface that is considered the shortest path to the source does an RPF check. Kind of like Split Horizon. When a router receives a multicast packet, it checks
