Hello!

I have just begun working in IT with advanced networks. I have eralier studied Cisco CCNA and CCNP1+3, however there are some technologies here that CCNP Routing did not cover, for example iBGP for L3-VPN(PE-PE) and the user of VRFs and concepts like RD and route-targets.

Reading documentation and configs I can get an idea of how theese things work, but Iwould like to gain a deeper understanding, therefor I ask if you guys here have some tips on books to read that deals with the concepts and tehnologies above?

I have looked at theese, but Im not sure how well they cover the topics...

9780596002541, Bgp Building Reliable Networks With the Border Gateway Protocol 9781587051128, MPLS and VPN Architectures, Volume II Master advanced MPLS VPN deployment solutions to design, deploy, and troubleshoot advanced or large-scale networks.

And also volume I of the above MPLS-book.

That is, I have not read the above, I am thinking o bing theese but Im ot sure they cover what i want :) Maybe you guys know, or have tips on other books?

BTW, ofc it is Cisco-equipment :D

Hi Daniel,

Try this:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk436/tk428/tech_configuration_examples_list.html

Cisco has some great case studies and configuration examples for various types of MPLS, MPLS TE, and MPLS VPN designs, and they're free.

You can also find a list of other MPLS books here:
