Value of the
Cisco Certification
The benefits of certification are real:
Motivation
Benefits of
Cisco Certification 37% of respondents received a salary increase
after earning their credentials1.
81%
of employers’ associate IT certification
Ability to gain a higher salary holders with increased quality and value
of work contribution1.
Keeps you in sync with Cisco Certifications are time-honored proof you
changing technology know what you’re doing. Plus, they’re ANSI and NIST
certified, which means they’re industry certs with
greater value in the marketplace.

Certified employees are valued assets
• Certification shortlists candidates for a job
• Gives confidence to the employer to bring a candidate in, meaning,
in most cases, it gets you an interview ☺
• Positions a job seeker for skills to a job match
• Represents a job seeker virtually through a resume/LinkedIn
prescreening

2.1 Describe MPLS operations (LSR, LDP, label
switching, LSP)
PE
• Labeling inside MPLS cloud between P
(LSR) and PE (Edge-LSR)
IGP/LDP IGP/LDP • PE-P-PE, P-P communication
• Customer to PE (CE-PE)
P P
• PE carrying multiple customer routes
communicate among them keeping
IGP/LDP
MP-BGP
IGP/LDP segregation between customers
• Customers with overlapping IP addresses
communicate and carry routes between
PE-CE
PE
• Advanced- TE (RSVP)

2.1 Describe MPLS operations (LSR, LDP, label
switching, LSP)
PE
• IGP is used to build an end-to-end layer 3
network and LDP is used to establish hop-by-
hop forwarding between LSRs using labels
IGP/LDP IGP/LDP
• LDP distributes labels for prefixes advertised by
unicast routing protocols
P P
• BGP to support VPNs and establish
communication between a set of sites using the
MP-BGP same criteria (customer) — Label mapping info
IGP/LDP IGP/LDP
carried as part of NLRI (Network Layer
Reachability Information)
• Forwarding plane consists of label imposition,
PE swapping, and disposition — Regardless of the
control plane (BGP, LDP, RSVP)

#CiscoLive BRKCRT-2016 © 2024 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 24
2.1 Describe MPLS operations (LSR, LDP, label
switching, LSP)
• IP CEF (default)
• Enable MPLS globally or at the interface level
• LDP 32 bit (4 byte)
• Labels (Max 3 --> VPN, IGP, TE) (Max 12 bytes)
• MPLS MTU 1512
• Push, SWAP, Pull
• Avoid double lookup by Penultimate hop popping or PHP by LSR before LER

1.6 Configure and verify VRF-Lite
• Allows overlapping IP addresses on the same router using VRF
• Address-family aware VRF-Lite must use address-family ipv4/ipv6 under the
VRF definition
• Show ip route must use vrf aware show command to display routing i.e. show
ip route vrf cust_A
• Dynamic routing is supported over VRF-Lite e.g. EIGRP, OSPF, BGP
• When using OSPF, capability vrf-lite must be configured under router ospf
command.

1.7 Configure and verify Policy-based Routing
• Identify traffic to be routed through specific requirements rather than default CEF exit
• Create a route-map for the required traffic
• Set next-hop using set ip next-hop ip-address [ip-address] OR set ip default next-
hop ip-address [ip-address]
• Apply the policy map on the interface using ip policy route-map map-tag command
• The set ip next-hop and set ip default next-hop commands are similar but have a
different order of operation. Configuring the set ip next-hop command causes the
system to first use policy routing and then use the routing table. Configuring the set ip
default next-hop command causes the system to first use the routing table and then the
policy-route-specified next hop.

1.10.d Troubleshoot OSPF (v2/v3)
(Path preference)
• Routes in the same area are called intra-area routes O.
• Routes crossing an ABR (between areas) are called inter-area routes (IA).
• Routes from an ASBR or from other protocols to OSPF are external routes. There
are two types of external routes; E1 and E2.
• The cost of an E2 route is always the external cost, irrespective of the interior
cost to reach that route. An E1 route cost is the addition of the external cost and
the internal cost used to reach that route.
• Multiple routes to the same destination are preferred in the following order:
intra-area (O), inter-area (O IA), external E1, external E2.
