Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services (SPVI)

The Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services (SPVI) training prepares you to manage end-customer Virtual Private Network (VPN) environments built over a common service provider Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) backbone. You will complete hands-on labs to reinforce MPLS VPN fundamental concepts, benefits, and classification, MPLS components, MPLS control plane and data plane operations, MPLS VPN routing using Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF), Layer 2 and Layer 3 MPLS VPNs, IPv6 MPLS VPN implementations, IP Multicast VPNs, and shared services VPNs. The training also covers solutions for deploying MPLS VPN crossing multiple Service Provider domains that improve the use of network bandwidth.

This training prepares you for the 300-515 SPVI v1.0 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.
