What you'll learn:
- Understand the evolution of routing from IP and MPLS to Segment Routing
- Learn the core concepts of Segment Routing, including segment types, global and local segments, and SR behavior in IGPs
- Configure and verify Segment Routing control-plane using both IS-IS and OSPF across IOS-XE platforms
- Master SR-MPLS data-plane operations, label architecture, ECMP behavior, explicit-null processing, and the global block
- Deploy and troubleshoot SR and LDP coexistence, migration strategies, and full interworking models
- Implement Fast Reroute (FRR) and TI-LFA for link, node, and SRLG protection—including advanced LDP protection scenarios
- Build and optimize Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE)
- Understand and configure IGP Flexible Algorithm (Flex-Algo) and explore real-world use cases
Segment Routing (SR) is a cutting-edge technology that is transforming the way networks are designed, managed, and optimized. Whether you're a network engineer, architect, or enthusiast aiming to stay ahead in the fast-evolving field of networking, understanding Segment Routing is essential. This course offers you a unique opportunity to master SR, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to deploy and manage it in real-world scenarios.
Segment Routing simplifies network operations by integrating traffic engineering directly into routing, eliminating the need for complex MPLS label distribution protocols. It is a must-learn for professionals seeking to enhance network scalability, performance, and reliability. Our approach focuses on clarity, practical insights, and a thorough explanation of SR principles to ensure you are ready to tackle SR implementations confidently.
As a special gift, this course includes an in-depth IS-IS Foundation module, designed to give you a strong grasp of the essential knowledge required for Segment Routing. IS-IS is a cornerstone of many SR deployments, and having this understanding ensures a seamless learning experience.
Join this course to unlock new possibilities in networking and become a sought-after expert in the rapidly growing domain of Segment Routing. Take the next step in advancing your career with this comprehensive and empowering course!
