The video focuses on LDP label advertisement on Cisco router. You will learn how to define a number range for MPLS label and control which labels are to be sent to and received from a MPLS neighbor using label filter. By default, a default route does not have a label assigned and we will show you how this behavior can be overwritten. The video finishes with a discussion of LDP transport address and configuration on how to change it from the default of LDP router-id.

The video introduces you to MPLS ping and traceroute, which are important tools that will help you in troubleshooting a MPLS network. We will explain the differences from traditional ping and traceroute and demonstrate how you can use them to track down label discontinuity which may cause MPLS packet drop. We will the discuss the significant of MRU and its effect to packet fragmentation. Wireshark packet capture will be performed throughout this video to show you the MPLs packet structure.

The video lays a foundation of MPLS by looking at configuration of Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) on Cisco router. We will learn how MPLS routers use LDP to discover their neighbors, create series of LDP sessions to form a Label Switching Path (LSP), and finally exchange MPLS labels. LDP binding table will be examined in attempt to understand how a packet is label-switched from an ingress to an egress router. Wireshark capture will be performed as we will spend time analysing LDP messages and packets.
