The Cisco ASR 1000 Essentials V3.9.0S instructor-led course is a lab-intensive course that introduces you to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers running Cisco IOS XE Software Release 3.9.0S. You will learn the major features, functions, characteristics, and connectivity options of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers. The online Cisco ASR course includes detailed platform-specific information about the hardware. Also included in this Cisco ASR class is the functional operation of high availability (HA), In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), quality of service (QoS), security, and multicast services in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series router. This ASR training course combines lecture materials and hands-on labs throughout to make sure that you are able to successfully deploy a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router.
