Implementing Segment Routing on IOS XR (SEGRTE201)

About This Course

The Implementing Segment Routing on Cisco IOS® XR is an instructor-led lecture and lab-based hands-on course that will help you learn the concepts of segment routing, application engineered routing, segment routing traffic engineering and its associate protocols, network migration options, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) egress engineering, and Cisco Agile Carrier Ethernet (ACE) architecture.

The Implementing Segment Routing on Cisco IOS XR course is designed for engineers and service providers who are building their networks to take advantage of Application Engineered Routing (AER). Segment routing is designed for the software-defined networking (SDN) era.

Course PreRequisites

• Cisco IOS XR platform and command-line interface (CLI) familiarity
