Cisco CCNA 640-878 SPNGN2

This SPNGN2 course picks up right where SPNGN1 left off and never looks back! The service provider network technology is taken to a whole new level as you discuss topics such as VLANs, Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) and all its derivatives (such as RSTP and MSTP), advanced routing (including OSPF, IS-IS, and even BGP), and MPLS. Nearly all of the technologies discussed are implemented on both IOS and IOS-XR platforms. If you’re ready to take the leap into Provider networks (P-Networks), this is the course for you!

Recommended skills:
Completion of SPNGN1 (640-875) or equivalent knowledge

Recommended equipment:
Any Cisco IOS-based router (cost effective: Cisco 2600 series suggested)
Any Cisco IOS-XR based router (likely via equipment rental)
Any Cisco Cisco ME-series switch (cost effective: ME-3400-24TS suggested)
