When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Elevate your network expertise with this comprehensive course on VPN principles and MPLS VPN architecture. You'll gain an in-depth understanding of VPNs—why they were created, the essential terminology, and how overlay and peer-to-peer models differ in implementation, benefits, and challenges. The curriculum moves beyond the basics to unravel the unique components and layered structure of MPLS VPNs, including route distinguishers (RDs), route targets (RTs), virtual routing tables, and address propagation.

Uniquely, this course offers a side-by-side perspective from both customer and service provider viewpoints, clarifying how routing tables function on PE routers and how end-to-end data flows via MPLS VPN backbones. You’ll learn when and why organizations deploy VPNs, the advantages they bring for efficiency and security, and how MPLS traffic engineering drives performance—insights essential for future network architects and troubleshooters. By capturing these advanced concepts in a practical context, you’ll be prepared to design, configure, and optimize networks that are robust, secure, and scalable—a capability increasingly sought after in today’s interconnected world.

This course explains the concept of VPNs as well as the VPN terminology that is also used by the MPLS VPN architecture. The course looks at why VPNs were first introduced; the course also explains the differences between the overlay and peer-to-peer VPN models, how they are implemented, and the benefits and drawbacks of each implementation. It is important to understand the background of VPNs, because you should be able to determine when an organization might need a VPN, and be able to explain how MPLS VPNs can help save time and money. Understanding the different types of VPNs will allow you to recognize where the various types of VPNs would be best used in their associated networks.

This course explains the MPLS VPN architecture, route information propagation, RDs, RTs, and virtual routing tables. It is important to understand how the MPLS VPN architecture is structured, what the components of that architecture are, and how the components are used. This knowledge will help later when you begin to look at design issues and configuration parameters.

This course explains the routing requirements for MPLS VPNs. The course offers address and routing perspectives from the customer and service provider side, and it discusses how routing tables appear on PE routers. This lesson also discusses MPLS VPN end-to-end information flow, MP-BGP, updates, and display formats. It is important to understand how information is routed in an MPLS VPN, and how the routing tables are viewed and interpreted. This course will help you to get a clear understanding of the similarities and differences between the global routing table and the virtual routing tables that are created in an MPLS VPN.

Introducing the MPLS VPN Routing Model Course Exam40 Minuten

This course explains how forwarding across an MPLS VPN backbone occurs, identifies how labels get propagated, and explains the effects of summarization in the core. It is important to understand how packets are forwarded across an MPLS VPN backbone, because this understanding will help you when you try to isolate problems in the network. This course explains how the far-end label is sent to the ingress PE router and how that information is shared.
