Advanced Services’ Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System
Essentials (CRS) v2

Length: 5-day Workshop

This lab-intensive course introduces you to the Cisco® CRS-1 Carrier Routing System and its features and functions. You will learn the important theoretical concepts that the Cisco CRS-1 is based on and gain the practical knowledge and skills to successfully deploy it in your network. You will be able to determine the right Cisco CRS-1 based on the requirements of your network. In 12 hands-on labs, you will learn to install the Cisco IOS® XR Software operating system, create and configure secure domain routers
(SDRs), deploy common routing protocols, implement IP Multicast, and deploy Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traffic engineering and MPLS layer 3 VPNs in the classroom environment. You will also use Route Policy Language (RPL) to deploy large-scale routing configurations and perform basic troubleshooting. This course combines
lecture materials and hands-on labs throughout to ensure that you are able to successfully deploy a Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System network.

You will learn to:

• List and describe the major features and benefits of the Cisco CRS-1
  
• List and describe the major features and benefits of a Cisco SDR
  
• Create and configure a Cisco SDR
  
• Configure the Cisco CRS-1, back out of configuration changes, and restore older versions of
  a configuration
• Install the Cisco IOS XR Software operating system, package information envelopes, and
  software maintenance updates
  
• Configure the Cisco IOS XR security features in owner and nonowner SDRs
  
• Configure legacy route map configurations using the new Cisco IOS XR RPL
  
• Configure routing protocols in a complex multi-autonomous system (AS) environment
  
• Enable multicast routing on the Cisco CRS-1
  
• Configure MPLS on Cisco IOS XR Software
  
• Configure MPLS-Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) tunnels on the Cisco CRS-1
  
• Configure MPLS Layer 3 VPNs on the Cisco CRS-1
  
• Understand data flow through the Cisco CRS-1
  
• Troubleshoot basic Cisco CRS-1 hardware and software problems
