• Introduction
• How to set up the Lab
• Configuration
• Connectivity Check
• Introduction
In this lab you are going to learn how to use Mikrotik’s powerful operating system , Router OS® , in order to implement MPLS/VPN functionality , although it lacks Important features like fast reroute * . All of the main examples and configurations for MPLS/VPN are given from Mikrotik’s documentations ** website .

• How to set up the Lab The DELL Labtop is used for runnig vmware workstation to simulate the MPLS network with virtual machines running as Mikrotik Router-OS as Provider (P) and Provider Edge (PE) routers,Windows Server 2003 as Customer Edge ( CE) routers . Juniper SRX 210HM , First SSG-5 and Second SSG-5 act as HUB site , Spoke-Branch-1 and Spoke-Branch-2 respectively . Labtop’s FastEthernet and Pluggable USB to Gigabit Ethernets are used for connecting CE-1 to HUB site , CE-2 to spoke-2 and CE-3 to spoke-3 so we can make bridge between real world and Virtual world .
Lets take a look at physical lab components
