MPLS L3VPN – MP-BGP vpnv4 + eBGP PE-CE (GNS3)

MPLS L3VPN Lab – MP-BGP vpnv4 + eBGP PE-CE (GNS3)

Build a complete Service Provider MPLS L3VPN network and implement eBGP as the PE-CE routing protocol.

This lab is designed for engineers preparing for CCNP SPCOR or working in Service Provider environments.

What You Will Build

• MPLS Core (OSPF + LDP)
• MP-BGP vpnv4 with Route Reflectors
• Multi-VRF design with RD and Route Targets
• eBGP PE-CE routing between customer and provider
• Customer route advertisement using BGP
• VPNv4 route propagation across the MPLS backbone
• End-to-end customer connectivity
• VRF isolation validation

What Is Included

✔ Student Guide (step-by-step tasks)
