Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design an internet protocol-multiprotocol label switching (IP-MPLS) network, examine MLPS data flow and configure virtual private network (VPN) tunnelling.It applies to individuals with excellent technical skills including designers and installers of Next Generation Networks (NGN). These IP networks provide fast internet, voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and internet protocol TV (IPTV) services.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan and design IP- MPLS network to meet business requirements
  • 1.1 Determine IP-MPLS network design requirements in consultation with enterprise customer
  • 1.2 Optimise factors affecting design
  • 1.3 Use label stacking to route MPLS packets in the network to build of MPLS services
  • 1.4 Dimension layer-3 generation of core backbone to allow MPLS IP-VPN to provide MPLS convergence services
  • 1.5 Use MPLS control plane to set up wavelengths
  • 1.6 Produce design topology of a MPLS network to include location and types of edge label switch routers (LSR) and core LSRs in agreement with enterprise customer
2. Configure MPLS network and verify traffic engineering (TE) considerations
  • 2.1 Configure edge and core LSRs to provide secure methods of transporting IP packets in the MPLS network using layer 2 protocols
  • 2.2 Configure LSRs to provide toll bypass for convergence of voice and data over IP network
  • 2.3 Classify traffic in MPLS terms and configure edge LSR to sort traffic into forward equivalent classes (FECs)
  • 2.4 Install and remove two standardised signalling protocols for managing traffic engineering (TE) of MPLS paths
  • 2.5 Configure MPLS-TE to provide routing on diverse paths to avoid congestion and guarantee bandwidth services
3. Configure VPN and provide a virtual private LAN service (VPLS)
  • 3.1 Configure a MPLS VPN tunnel for a customer network to provide multipoint-to-multipoint VPN connectivity
  • 3.2 Build a content hosting server into a MPLS based VPN to produce a media network
  • 3.3 Use virtual private LAN services (VPLS) as a VPN method for wide area network (WAN) multipoint-to-multipoint ethernet connectivity spanning multiple metropolitan areas
  • 3.4 Produce VPLS topology using an internet protocol IP-MPLS cloud with provider edge (PE) routers connecting VPLS domains associated with an enterprise customer
4. Complete documentation
  • 4.1 Produce a final design plan including network elements, configuration details and recommendations for design changes
  • 4.2 Notify customer and obtain sign-off
