In the CCNA Service Provider SPNGN1 series, Jeremy Cioara covers a massive scope of network information taking you quickly from foundation network building blocks to understanding the complexity of SONET rings and service provider architecture!

Recommended equipment:
Cisco 2600 series router
Cisco 2950 or 3550 (ideal) switch
Any router running IOS-XR (rental)


The CBT Nuggets' SPNGN1 course truly covers a broad set of information required to pass the SPNGN1 640-875 certification exam. You begin the course by understanding network fundamentals, discussing topics such as the OSI Model, switch and router functionality, and cabling standards. From there, you will move quickly into understanding the differences between IOS and IOS-XR (Cisco’s service provider-specific OS), configuration of routing protocols in both IPv4 and IPv6, network services, and device management.

Unlike most other Cisco courses, there are no pre-requisites for the SPNGN1 certification course. However, know that this course does move faster than most since Cisco assumes most individuals aspiring to work in a service provider role have some previous background in a technology arena. In addition, Jeremy has created a “reduced schedule” of videos for those already competing the CCENT (ICND1) or CCNA (ICND2) courses. Be sure to view the first video for the complete list!
