Building Cisco Service Provider Next-Generation Networks, Part 1 v1.0 (SPNGN1) — A 5 day course
Synopsis
This 5-day course is designed to provide network engineers and technicians with the basic knowledge and skills required to support a service provider network.
The course provides knowledge of the major components of a network and helps learners to understand how service provider networks function.
The course introduces IP Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) architecture that helps service providers to build modern, scalable, and reliable networks.
The course also includes classroom activities with remote labs that are useful to gain practical skills for deploying basic Cisco IOS Software, IOS XE Software, and Cisco IOS XR Software features to operate and support a service provider network.
