22 Jun 2009In this MPLS article we want to look at Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering. Before we start getting too far into this I want to make sure we understand that Multiprotocol Label Switching traffic engineering is not supported by all routing protocols. Deploying MPLS traffic engineering you are going to be limited to using OSPF, or ISIS.

1 Jun 2009This article is intended for those new to Cisco Express Forwarding and its impact on the way Multilayer Switching is done in Cisco hardware. Of course, this article can also serve as a review for those familiar with Cisco Express Forwarding but are looking for a refresher. In this first article we are going to go over the components that make up this switching architecture followed by some fundamental examples to illustrate these components and concepts at work. Before we get started be sure to download the topology we are going to be using in the lab examples for clarity.

21 Mar 2009The Cisco CCNP lab is one of the most difficult labs to build because it touches on so many different pieces of equipment. When you are building your Cisco CCNA lab, it is pretty easy as three Cisco router and three Cisco switches will put you in a pretty good position at a pretty reasonable price. Definitely a lot less then the price of attending a Cisco CCNA training class and you get to keep the equipment to practice on for as long as you like. When building a Cisco CCIE lab, you concentrate on one particular discipline such as CCIE Security, Voice, Service Provider, Storage or Routing and Switching so you only have to purchase Cisco equipment for that area of expertise.
