Cisco SPCOR Cisco Implementing and Operations Cisco Services

Course duration: 5 days

Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR 350-501) is a 5-day course which 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 Implementing and Operating Cisco® Service Provider Network Core Technologies (350-501 SPCOR) exam, which is part of the new CCNP® Service Provider certification and the Cisco Certified Specialist – Service Provider Core certification.

This course will help you:

• Configure, verify, troubleshoot, and optimize next-generation, Service Provider IP network infrastructures
• Deepen your understanding of Service Provider technologies including core architecture, services, networking, automation, quality of services, security, and network assurance
• Validate your knowledge and prepare to take the Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (350-501 SPCOR) exam
