Course Overview

thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique nine-day training camp comprised of five days of instructor-led learning for Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) and four days of instructor-led learning for Implementing Cisco Service Provider Advanced Routing Solutions (SPRI). As with all of our Cisco Training Experiences - exams are delivered in the classroom.

SPCOR

The goal of this portion of the course teaches you how to configure, verify, troubleshoot, and optimize next-generation, Service Provider IP network infrastructures. It provides a deep dive into Service Provider technologies including core architecture, services, networking, automation, quality of services, security, and network assurance.

SPRI

This portion of the course teaches learners theories and practices to integrate advanced routing technologies including routing protocols, multicast routing, policy language, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and segment routing, expanding your knowledge and skills in service provider core networks.
