MPLS – Introduction Introduction to MPLS. Now in this video I’m going to get into some of the very basics of MPLS technology. Like first we’ll start with traditional IP routing method. Initially we’ll be discussing on that. And then we’ll get into some of the basic MPLS features. And then we will correlate with Cisco’s posts forwarding because SF must be enabled in order for the MPLS to add the labels. So we’ll see that how exactly it is going to do that process. And then we’ll try to…

Weight & Local Preference Weight and local preference. In this video, we’ll try to understand the two different two major attributes which are used for path manipulations. The first one is weight, which is a more Cisco proprietary attribute. Whereas local preference is a well known optional, well known discretionary attributes which are generally used for path manipulation. And they decide how how to exit the as. Now, these two attributes are used for a common purpose and they will decide how to exit the as part. Like take an…

BGP Attributes In this video we will learn the BGP path selection process. Now, if you remember what we have learned in our previous videos, we have learned lot of BGP and IBGP configurations and then we have seen how to verify and troubleshoot the BGP pairings. Now, the pre requirement before you get into these attributes or before you understand the BGP path selection process is you need to have a very good understanding of IBGP and EBGP peering and configuration and verifying and troubleshooting the things. Now, what…

Demo: Installing NSX Manager Am in the Vsphere client and I’m just going to go to Hosts and Clusters and I’ve kind of scaled back what I have in my home lab. Right now, I only have one ESXi host. So I’ll just right click on my ESXi host and I’ll choose Deploy OVF template. And I’m going to find the local file that I have downloaded. I’ve downloaded the OVA file for NSA manager. And here it is. It’s called NSX unified appliance. So I’ll go ahead and open…

Installing NSX Manager And you’ll find that the deployment process for Nsxt version two, four and version 30 are actually very similar. So, number one, note that NSX Manager can be deployed either as a virtual appliance running on an ESXi host, or it can be installed on KVM as well. This core largely focuses on Vsphere. We will talk about some KVM resources towards the end of the course, but we’re primarily focused on deploying Nsxt in a Vsphere environment. So you can use the Vsphere client to deploy…

Remote Site Local Internet Connectivity Although many of the applications and services that remote site workers use are centrally located, there are benefits in providing deternet access at each remote site location. The local Internet remote site design provides the remote office local Internet access solutions for web browsing and cloud services without having Internet traffic be passed through to the van first. In the local Internet model, remote site user web traffic and hosted cloudysis traffic are permitted limited to use the local Internet link in a split tunneling…

WAN Design Overview The Van aggregation design model at the hub of a van deployment influences the remote site spoke design for implement. Many remote sites are designed with a single router van edge. However, certain remote site types require dual router van edge. Dual router candidate sites include regional office or remote campus locations with large user populations or sites with business critical needs that justify additional redundancy to remove single points of fail. Similarly, the size of the remote site land depends on factors such as the number…

Describe DMVPN Dynamic multipoint virtual private network. Dmvn is a feature that simplifies the deployment of large hubbands, partially meshed, and fully meshed vpns. DMVPN enables scalability for large multipoint vpn solutions. The major features of DMVPN include configuration reduction and zero touch deployment, support for dynamic routing protocols, and support for dynamically assigned addresses on remote peers. Its support ports devices behind network address translation. It has support for partial or full mesh vpn and be used with or without IPSec encryption. cisco dynamic multipoint vpn There are two…

Describe Dynamic VTI, GET VPN, SSL Dynamic virtual tunnel interface. Dvti esque can provide highly scalable Hub configuration in hubba and spoke VPN ID to site and remote access connectivity. getvpn is a fully meshed vpns present a scalability and manageability challenge. Many sites usually avoid full mesh vpns ipsec with dynamic i. An overview of dynamic vti follows. It is used for Hub provisioning in Hub and spoke vpns. It simplifies the configuration complexity of the VPN hub router. spokes initiate a VPN establishment. A spoke is configured with…

Enterprise Managed VPN Overview Vpns or virtual private networks are used to connect remote branches and users over third party links. Notice in our graphic here, we have some business partners with a cisco router. We have a regional office with a cisco asa firewall, a small office, home office or soho with a cisco router, a mobile worker with a cisco any connect on a lamp connected into a main site with a perimeter router and a cisco asa firewall. The goal of a vn is to connect these…
