Course Abstract:	The 642-611 MPLS exam is a qualifying exam for the Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional certification. The 642-611 MPLS exam will test materials covered under the Implementing Cisco MPLS course. The exam will certify that the successful candidate has knowledge and skills necessary to gather information from the technology basics to some of the more updated features and functions such as Traffic Engineering, Fast Reroute and any Transport over MPLS (AToM). The exam covers topics on MPLS Concepts, MPLS Label Assignment and Distribution, Frame-Mode/Cell-Mode MPLS Implementation on Cisco IOS Platforms, MPLS Virtual Private Networks Technology, MPLS VPN Implementation, Complex MPLS VPNs, and Internet Access from a MPLS VPN. The CCIP (Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional) provides individuals working in service provider organizations with competencies in infrastructure IP networking solutions. CCIP professionals have detailed understanding of networking technologies in the service provider arena including IP routing, IP QoS, BGP, and MPLS. The 642-611 exam is one of the four core exams required for the Cisco CCIP. Documentation Course Materials consist of the following materials: MPLS Fundamentals book CCIP MPLS Study Guide Exam Preparation Completion, review & discussion of examination question examples. Examination Cisco will ask advanced questions on the following topics: MPLS Fundamentals MPLS Operation Frame-Mode/Cell-Mode MPLS Implementation, Configuration and Troubleshooting MPLS Virtual Private Networks Technology MPLS VPN Implementation, Configuration and Troubleshooting Complex MPLS VPNs Internet Access from a MPLS VPN As with most Cisco exams, the MPLS is considered to be very challenging. Students should expect to spend many hours studying for this exam both in lab and in text. The exam normally lasts 75 minutes. However, you will have 90 minutes to complete the exam. Criteria For Certification Cisco does not publish the pass score for this exam; however rumors say that the normal passing score is 849 out of 1000. The exam contains somewhere between 60 and 70 questions that include multiple choice, drag and drop, and simulation style questions in varying numbers.
Audience:	This course is primarily targeted at IT professionals who have a large amount of experience with network design and implementation.
Duration:	5 days
Learning Outcomes:	Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to: > Know about the evolution of MPLS > Know about MPLS Architecture > Explain forwarding Label Packets > Explain Label Distribution Protocol > Explore MPLS and ATM Architecture > Know Cisco Express Forwarding > Recognize MPLS VPN > Describe MPLS Traffic Engineering > Recognize IPv6 over MPLS > Recognize Virtual Private LAN Service > Explain MPLS and Quality of Service > Troubleshoot MPLS Networks > Explain MPLS Operation and Maintenance > Know the Future of MPLS Benefits A solid credential that can be utilized in any industry Validation of achievement in an industry-valued skill Viable career path, leading to higher level positions
