A crash course on VRF-Lite and MPLS configuration

You always wondered how MPLS works? How it is configured? This crash course answers all those questions in less than 140 minutes and after finishing that you will be able to configure your own network!

Here is the main topics for this crash course:

A brief overview of MPLS: MPLS is not a fancy technology! It is a must and you need to know the basics to be able to run it.
Creating a topology on GNS3: God bless you GNS3 developers! We have a nice tool for free and we can emulate routers and change the topology much faster than real gear. And of course we can have it on our laptop and (much to peoples surprise) practice in our commuting time to work and home!
Configuring MPLS: Actually you need to configure LDP and interfaces which you assign for label switching before anything. And it is so easy! Only one command and you put that both in global configuration and interface configuration. What about LDP itself? Mostly the defaults would be quite OK but I prefer to have control on router-id and some other attributes.
