Course Overview

The Cisco Leveraging iOS XR VPN Services (XRVPNS) course is designed for network engineers, systems engineers, and network administrators responsible for implementing and troubleshooting Virtual Private Network services in service provider environments using Cisco IOS XR software. This training directly supports preparation for the 300-515 SPVI: Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services exam, a key concentration exam for the CCNP Service Provider certification. With over 85% of global service providers relying on Cisco’s infrastructure, professionals skilled in IOS XR-based VPN deployment are in high demand. The course equips learners with critical expertise in modern service provider networks, focusing on scalable and secure Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN solutions essential for enterprise and carrier-grade deployments.

Participants gain hands-on experience with core technologies including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Segment Routing (SR), Segment Routing IPv6 (SRv6), Layer 3 MPLS VPNs, Ethernet VPN (EVPN), and EVPN Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB). Through guided labs conducted in a virtual IOS XR environment using XRv9000 routers, students configure and verify MPLS forwarding, deploy Segment Routing with IS-IS and OSPF, implement IPv6 Layer 3 VPNs (6VPE), and build EVPN Virtual Private Wire Services (VPWS). A key real-world project involves designing and troubleshooting an EVPN-SR data center fabric, simulating production network conditions found in modern cloud and service provider data centers. These labs mirror actual deployment scenarios, reinforcing practical skills in a risk-free, instructor-led setting.

By completing the Leveraging iOS XR VPN Services (XRVPNS) training, professionals prepare for the Cisco Certified Specialist – Service Provider VPN Services Implementation credential and advance toward the industry-recognized CCNP Service Provider certification, which is held by over 60% of senior network engineers in top-tier telecom firms. Certified experts report an average salary increase of 20–25%, with CCNP-level professionals earning between $95,000 and $130,000 annually in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances this path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and official Cisco courseware, ensuring consistent access to training with expert instructors. Graduates emerge ready to lead complex VPN deployments, drive network modernization, and advance into expert-level service provider engineering roles.
