Overview
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) offers a set of advanced features to provide enhanced
services. This module looks at one of the most recent supported features: Any Transport over
MPLS (AToM). AToM provides transport of Layer 2 frames and cells over an MPLS network.
Objectives
Upon completing this module, you will be able to use a diagram of a typical simple MPLS
service provider solution to identify the appropriate Cisco IOS MPLS advanced feature and
describe how that feature is implemented. This includes being able to do the following:
Identify the reasons behind implementing AToM support, the types of Layer 2 protocols
that are supported, and how AToM provides transport for these protocols
Configure AToM on Cisco IOS platforms to implement supported solutions
Identify the Cisco IOS commands and syntax that is used to verify AToM operations
Outline
The module contains these lessons:
Introduction to Any Transport over MPLS
Configuring AToM on Cisco IOS Platforms
Monitoring AToM on Cisco IOS Platforms
