Course Details
Overview
The Cisco IOS XR Multicast Routing Implementation and Verification (IOSXR302) v1.1 course shows you how to implement multicast routing and multicast VPNs on Cisco® Internetwork Operating System (IOS) XR platforms. You learn how to implement and verify multicast routing in the core of a Cisco IOS® XR service provider network. You also learn how to implement and verify multicast-enabled services, including multicast VPNs.
This course is part of a portfolio of courses designed to help you support and maintain Cisco IOS XR platforms, including Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers and Carrier Routing System CRS-1, CRS-3, and CRS-X; and Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) Series 1000, 4000, 5000, 5500, and 6000.
