SPCORE – Implementing Cisco Service Provider Next-Generation Core Network Services v1.2

Short Course Description

5 Day

Course Overview

Implementing Cisco Service Provider Next-Generation Core Network Services (SPCORE) v1.2 is a training program designed to help students prepare for Cisco CCNP SP certification. It introduces the concepts of Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and describes its implementation as well as exploring the MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) services built on the MPLS technology.
The course enables learners to use the technology principles of basic Quality of Service, and Quality of Service with MPLS to implement advanced features and functions. The focus of the course is on technology issues of MPLS and on best practices for implementing QoS from the Service Providers perspective and how to configure some of those features and functions in an existing routed environment.

Prerequisites

The knowledge and skills that a learner should have before attending this course are as follows:

• SPNGNG1 and SPNGN2, SPROUTE and SPADVROUTE Recommended

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able to meet the following objectives:

• Features of MPLS and how MPLS labels are assigned and distributed
• Requirements for traffic engineering in modern networks that must attain optimal resource utilization
• QoS and the need to implement it
• Classify and mark network traffic to implement an administrative policy requiring QoS
• Cisco QoS queuing mechanisms used to manage network congestion
• Traffic policing and shaping, including token bucket, dual token bucket, and dual-rate policing
