Course Overview

The Cisco Aggregation Services Router 9000 Series Essentials (ASR9KE) v6.1 course by Cisco is designed for network professionals seeking expertise in high-end service provider routing platforms. It equips system engineers, technical support personnel, and channel partners with foundational and advanced skills for deploying and managing Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers running the 64-bit IOS XR operating system. While no direct certification exam is tied to this course, it serves as critical preparation for roles in service provider environments where Cisco's routing infrastructure dominates. With over 100,000 ASR 9000 systems deployed worldwide, including by major providers like Telefonica and Comcast, mastery of this platform is in high demand across the telecommunications industry.

Students engage with core technologies including Cisco IOS XR 64-Bit Software, Segment Routing, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs, and network virtualization (nV). Through a series of intensive hands-on labs conducted on actual ASR 9900 Series hardware, learners configure critical services such as IS-IS and OSPF routing, multicast routing, Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) with pseudowire backup, and service-based Connectivity Fault Management (CFM). A key lab project involves building a complete Layer 3 VPN service, allowing students to configure, verify, and troubleshoot a real-world service provider application, thereby solidifying their operational proficiency in a production-like environment.

This course provides the essential knowledge required for careers in large-scale service provider networks, where expertise in the Cisco ASR 9000 platform translates to strong job market value. Professionals with these skills often advance into senior network engineering or architect roles, with average salaries for senior network engineers in North America exceeding $110,000 annually. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official Cisco courseware, ensuring reliable access to training. Completing the Cisco Aggregation Services Router 9000 Series Essentials (ASR9KE) v6.1 course positions learners to lead the deployment and optimization of next-generation, high-capacity networks that form the backbone of global internet services.
