Configuring MPLS and VRF -- Cisco CCIP MPLS certification certification. These skills are tested in the CCIP 642-611 - Implementing Cisco MPLS Exam. In the last tip on MPLS configuration, I discussed how to turn on MPLS service on the router and how to bind the labels to the IP packets.Here, I am going to focus on the creation and configuration of the Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) delivered by Layer 3 MPLS VPNs.
