What you’ll learn

The Cisco Aggregation Services Router 9000 Series Essentials (ASR9KE) course provides a comprehensive overview of the features and functionalities of the Cisco® Aggregation Services Router (ASR) 9000 Series platforms. This training, conducted through a combination of lectures and hands-on labs, ensures participants gain a thorough understanding of various critical aspects of the platform. These include hardware components, Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, routing protocols (with a focus on Segment Routing), Layer 2 and Layer 3 multicast, Quality of Service (QoS) features, and network virtualization.

Additionally, the course explores the Cisco Internetworking Operating System (IOS) XR 64-Bit Linux-based feature parity within the environment. Participants will also learn how to install Cisco IOS® XR 64-Bit software packages, enhancing their proficiency in managing and configuring the ASR 9000 Series routers. The hands-on labs provide practical experience, allowing participants to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios for a comprehensive learning experience.
