Course Overview

The Cisco course Leveraging iOS XR VPN Services (XRVPNS) v1.0 is designed for network engineers, systems engineers, and network administrators who implement and troubleshoot Layer 2 and Layer 3 Virtual Private Network services in service provider environments using Cisco IOS XR software. While no formal certification exam is directly tied to the XRVPNS training, it aligns with professional-level service provider roles that require deep expertise in MPLS, Segment Routing, and EVPN technologies. With over 85% of global service providers relying on Cisco IOS XR for their network infrastructure, this course delivers critical skills for managing scalable, high-performance networks. Participants will gain hands-on experience configuring advanced VPN services essential for modern carrier-grade deployments.

Students engage with key technologies including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Segment Routing (SR), Segment Routing IPv6 (SRv6), Ethernet VPN (EVPN), EVPN Integrated Routing and Bridging (EVPN IRB), and EVPN-SR data center fabric. The hands-on lab component uses Cisco IOS XR virtual labs where learners configure and verify core services such as MPLS, Layer 3 VPNs, 6VPE, and EVPN Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS). A key real-world scenario involves building an EVPN-SR data center fabric, enabling students to deploy scalable, automated data center interconnects using industry-standard protocols and operational best practices.

This training prepares professionals for expert-level service provider responsibilities and contributes 24 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward Cisco recertification. Engineers with these skills see career advancement into senior network architect and service provider consultant roles, where salaries average $135,000 annually in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with official Cisco courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, and access to certified instructors through 1-on-1 training options. Completing Leveraging iOS XR VPN Services (XRVPNS) v1.0 positions networking professionals to lead next-generation service provider network transformations using Cisco's industry-leading routing platform.
