Implementing Cisco Converged SDN Transport Solution (SPSDNTXP) v1.0

The Implementing Cisco Converged SDN Transport Solution (SPSDNTXP) v1.0 course introduces you to software-defined networking (SDN)-ready architecture.

This architecture evolves traditional Metro network design into an SDN-enabled programmable network capable of delivering all services (residential, business, 5G mobile backhauling, video, and IoT) on the premise of simplicity, full programmability, and cloud integration with guaranteed service-level agreements (SLAs).

You will examine the evolution of service provider design principles such as Unified Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Evolved Programmable Networks (EPN), and the Cisco Compass Metro Fabric. Additionally, you’ll explore and configure individual components of the design including segment routing and its supporting features.

Course Objectives

After taking this course, you should be able to:

• Introduce and examine the evolution of service provider design principles
• Introduce and review the basic building blocks of segment routing and its place within the service provider infrastructure
• Implement various technologies within segment routing to provide additional availability or to meet the SLAs
• Identify and deploy an SDN controller to support a multidomain segment routing for traffic engineering (SR-TE) network
• Describe different VPNs and services
• Explain how to configure and verify Ethernet VPN (EVPN) Native and EVPN Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS)
• Describe how to configure and verify the Layer 3 VPN
• Explain network operation simplification and automation foundation
• Describe how to automate service provider network configurations with Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO)
