Description

Welcome to Segment Routing MPLS (SR-MPLS) Masterclass by Arash Deljoo, a comprehensive training course designed to help network engineers master Segment Routing over MPLS, from fundamental concepts to advanced implementation and traffic engineering.

This course combines detailed theoretical explanations, professional network diagrams, step-by-step configurations, verification techniques, troubleshooting scenarios, and practical hands-on laboratories to develop your Segment Routing expertise.

You will begin by understanding Segment Routing fundamentals, MPLS architecture, Segment Identifiers (SIDs), Prefix SIDs, Adjacency SIDs, and Segment Routing forwarding operations.

As you progress, you will explore SR-MPLS control plane operations, IS-IS and OSPF extensions, SID advertisement, label allocation, Segment Routing Global Block (SRGB), and Segment Routing Local Block (SRLB).

The course also covers advanced technologies, including Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE), SR Policies, explicit path selection, fast reroute, TI-LFA, and network resiliency.

Through practical Cisco IOS XR configuration demonstrations, you will learn how to implement, verify, optimize, and troubleshoot Segment Routing in modern service provider networks.

Whether you are preparing for Cisco CCNP or CCIE Service Provider certifications, transitioning from traditional MPLS technologies, or strengthening your routing expertise, this masterclass provides valuable technical knowledge and practical implementation skills.

Master SR-MPLS, explore modern traffic engineering technologies, and advance your service provider networking expertise with Arash Deljoo.

Who this course is for:

  • Network engineers working in enterprise or service provider environments who want to deploy or migrate to Segment Routing
  • CCNP and CCIE candidates preparing for the ENCOR, SPCOR, or CCIE Enterprise exams who need deep SR-MPLS knowledge
  • MPLS engineers looking to modernize their skill set and understand the evolution from LDP to Segment Routing
  • Network architects and designers evaluating SR-MPLS for large-scale, scalable network designs
  • Students and beginners who want to learn advanced routing technologies by following guided, step-by-step configurations
