Troubleshooting the Control Plane on MPLS VPN Networks

Overview As native IP networks migrate to Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based networks, the expertise required to troubleshoot such networks has taken a new approach. Learn several control plane-troubleshooting techniques to better diagnose and resolve problems associated with VPN traffic, VPN routes, and labels in MPLS VPN networks. Discuss the role that Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (MP-BGP) plays in an MPLS-based VPN network, and learn several helpful Cisco IOS Software commands. First of a two-part series focused on troubleshooting MPLS VPN networks.
