Course Overview

The Cisco IOS XR Software Essentials (IOSXRE) training introduces you to the essential features and functions of the Cisco IOS XR Software operating system that powers many Cisco products.

Through a combination of lectures and hands-on lab exercises, you will gain an understanding of all major aspects of the operating system including the architecture, installation and upgrade, automatic provisioning, and using the software command-line interface (CLI). You will also learn how to implement essential software services including system security, logging, timing and synchronization, AAA services, and how to use modular QoS. In addition, you will learn how to implement basic routing and forwarding using Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). Finally, you will learn how to implement and use programmability and monitoring features including Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), telemetry, process monitoring, and IOS XR programmability.

This training will help you:

  • Learn how to describe and implement fundamental concepts and configurations on Cisco IOS XR Software.
  • Gain leading-edge skills for high-demand responsibilities focused on software services.

FAQ

A remote lab is a virtual environment that provides access to Cisco equipment and software for hands-on practice. It allows learners to simulate real-world scenarios and apply what they have learned in a controlled setting, all from a remote location.

Labs work by providing a set of tasks or exercises that learners must complete using the remote lab environment. These tasks are designed to reinforce theoretical knowledge through practical application, often using real or simulated Cisco hardware and software configurations.

Access to labs is provided to learners by an instructor at the beginning of the training.

Access to the remote lab is limited to the duration of the course.

Accessing a remote lab requires a stable internet connection and a compatible web browser. Some labs may also require specific software or plugins to be installed on your computer. Detailed system requirements are provided in advance.

Not every course includes a remote lab. Whether a course includes a remote lab depends on the course’s objectives and structure. Courses focused on practical skills or technical certifications are more likely to include remote labs. Each training has lab exercises listed in its description.

To access the Course Book or Student Guide, you must have an active Cisco.com ID (CCO ID). Access details are provided a few days before the start date of the training and on the first day of the training by the instructor (in case an email from Cisco is missed).

Access to the Course Book (Student Guide) is related to the learners’s CCO ID and is valid for the life of a specific course.
