Course Overview
TopThe Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services (SPVI) training prepares network professionals to implement and support Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions on top of an MPLS network infrastructure. The goal is to prepare you to deploy, configure, monitor, operate, and troubleshoot end customer VPN environments built over a common Service Provider MPLS backbone. This training also includes labs to reinforce concepts including MPLS VPN fundamentals, benefits, classifications, components, control plane and data plane operations, VPN routing using Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF), Layer 3 MPLS VPNs, Layer 2 MPLS VPNs, IPv6 MPLS VPN implementations, IP Multicast VPNs, shared services VPNs, and solutions for deploying MPLS VPN traversing multiple service providers domains.
This training prepares you for the 300-515 SPVI v1.1 exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist - Service Provider VPN Services Implementation certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Service Provider certification.
This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
