The Nokia Virtual Private LAN Services course builds on the students’ knowledge of Layer 2 services. The course outlines the theoretical aspects of virtual private LAN service (VPLS), management VPLS (M-VPLS), and hierarchical VPLS (H-VPLS). Design considerations, verification, and troubleshooting are also covered through extensive lab exercises. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to understand and deploy complex VPLS designs.
