SPCOR
Class Overview
Cisco’s Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies
, or SPCOR), is a 5-day class 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 (SPCOR) exam, which is part of the CCNP Service Provider certification and the Cisco Certified Specialist – Service Provider Core certification.
