Course Overview
The Building Cisco Service Provider Next-Generation Networks, Part 2 course is associated with the CCNA Service Provider certification. The course is a 5-day Instructor Lead Training course that provides network engineers and technicians the knowledge and skills necessary to implement and support a service provider network. The course provides knowledge of the major components of a service provider network construction and the Cisco service provider IP NGN architecture. The course also includes classroom activities with labs that are useful to gain practical skills for deploying Cisco IOS / IOS XE and Cisco IOS XR software features to operate and support service provider networks.
Target Audience
Network administrators/engineers, IT managers, systems Admins/engineers working in the service provider environment & anyone who is preparing for CCNA SP certification.
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:
- Describe the Cisco IP Next-Generation Network (Cisco IP NGN) architecture
