The Deploying Cisco Service Provider Advanced Network Routing (SPADVROUTE) v1.2 is a five-day course that provides network engineers and technicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement and support a service provider network. It is designed to help students prepare for Cisco CCNP SP certification. The SPADVROUTE course is a component of the CCNP SP curriculum.

The course focuses on using Cisco routers that are typically found in the service provider network and on various technologies that are used to offer different services to customers. Upon completing this course learners will be able to configure, verify, and troubleshoot advanced BGP configuration, IP multicasting, and IPv6 transition mechanisms. Also deploying Cisco IOS/IOS XE and Cisco IOS XR features to operate and support SP network.
