[c-nsp] MPLS Tutorial or Guide?

[Arie Vayner (avayner)]

Seth,

You could try the Configuration Guides...

MPLS Config Guide Home:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/ios-xml/ios/mpls/config_library/15-1mt/mp-15-1mt-library.html 

General MPLS:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/ios-xml/ios/mp_basic/configuration/15-1mt/mp-mpls-overview.html

Layer 2 VPN (as you mentioned xconnects)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/ios-xml/ios/mp_l2_vpns/configuration/15-1mt/mp-l2-vpns-15-1mt-book.html


I would still recommend reading the book... At least the basic stuff. You may turn it on, but things would seem weird if you do not really understand what's going on in the background...

Arie

Subject: [c-nsp] MPLS Tutorial or Guide?

Does anyone have a good intro or beginner's guide to MPLS that they like? Something succinct and focused that's not a 500 page my-first-Cisco book. The situation I'm thinking is putting someone in front of some routers and switches in a lab setting and saying "take these and set them up to do MPLS and create some xconnects for simulated customers" with the assumption that they already have Cisco experience and can build a non-MPLS network, but who is new to MPLS alone.
