Description
This lab-intensive course introduces you to the Cisco® CRS-1
Carrier Routing System and its features and functions. You will learn
the important theoretical concepts that the Cisco CRS-1 is based on and
gain the practical knowledge and skills to successfully deploy it in
your network. You will be able to determine the right Cisco CRS-1 based
on the requirements of your network. In 12 hands-on labs, you will
learn to install the Cisco IOS® XR Software operating system, create
and configure secure domain routers (SDRs), deploy common routing
protocols, implement IP Multicast, and deploy Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) traffic engineering and MPLS layer 3 VPNs in the
classroom environment. You will also use Route Policy Language (RPL) to
deploy largescale routing configurations and perform basic
troubleshooting. This course combines lecture materials and hands-on
labs throughout to ensure that you are able to successfully deploy a
Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System network.
Please note: Students need to provide their own Windows-based laptops and 15-ft-or longer ethernet cables.Objectives
