Topology: MPLS VPNs with MPLS-TE Instead of LDP - OSPF Routing Protocols
Written by LBSources from http://www.gns3-labs.com on July 10th, 2008 | 8 CommentsBased on his 2.0 lab, this is v2.5 by the famous Justine White over at Hacki.AT. I will also put toghether the 3.0 lab also. This is a very high CPU intense lab so be warned. I used 3640 routers to minimize the resource taxing.
As per the Justin in the original thread > MPLS VPNs v2.5 with MPLS-TE Instead of LDP
Here’s the version 2.5 of my MPLS lab updated to use MPLS-TE instead of LDP for distribution of labels. There aren’t any other changes over version 2, so the diagrams should be identical. Remember that this version consists of a 6-node MPLS network with a pair of P-core routers that also act as route-reflectors for the PE routers.

A little simpler version - http://innerslaughter.org/2008/11/simple-sitetosite-mpls-vpn-in.html

Nice innerslaughter! Though simpler doesn’t mean better
It’s all about what you want to do .. Thanks again ..

You are absolutely correct, that it is not (by definition) better
However, the whole point is to get the basics down and learn how respective technologies work. I will be doing some more lab posts in the (near?) future, focusing on VPNs and QOS, as I trudge along learning these and other subjects.

Hey .. share your topologies if you’re OK with that.. I’ll do it if you don’t have the time. I love sharing things I find along my way on the path
Thanks!

Here is one more - http://innerslaughter.org/2008/11/sitetosite-atom-frame-relay-dl.html - this time using AToM.

First of all, excellent site, and awesome labs. Thank you, everyone, for contributing to such a great resource.
Does anyone know, however, of a site that has some lab topologies that are configured similarly to the CCIE labs? (By this, I don’t mean a braindump of the CCIE, that’s not what I’m after at all.) While going through the Cisco Networking Academy Programs, I discovered, much to my dismay, that they put the answers right inline with the labs. I simply don’t have the discipline not to scan that last line as I scroll down one line too far. What I’d like to see are labs that say:
This is the scenario. These are the IP addresses on the routers. These are your objectives. Go.
And then, at the end, it shows what your final configs should look like. Now, once I’ve seen a few of those, I plan on creating some for this site for CCNA/CCNP/CCSP labs (the CCSP using PIXEmu and VMWare) so that others can do the same thing. However, until I get an idea what a GOOD lab looks like, I don’t want to start creating garbage. (Does that make sense?)
So, does anyone know a good resource like that?

Hey Mike .. I think Arden (http://ardenpackeer.com/) is one of the closest that will offer what you are looking for - at the CCIE level. Until I reach the CCIE level or until some folks contribute the CCIE level labs; I don’t have a use for them yet. Though I do plan to post the IPExpert GNS3 converted lab soon - also contributed. If you do come across any of those labs though, please do share!
