Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies [SPCOR]

OVERVIEW

The 5-day Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) v1.0 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.

This course also helps you prepare to take the 350-501 Implementing and Operating Cisco® Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) exam, which is part of the new CCNP® Service Provider certification and the Cisco Certified Specialist – Service Provider Core certification.

Course duration is 5 days in the classroom with hands-on lab practice, plus the equivalent of 3 days of self-study material.
