Course Overview

The Deploying Cisco® Service Provider Mobile Backhaul Solutions course1 is an instructor-led, lab-based, hands-on course offered by Cisco Learning Services.

This course focuses on service provider mobile backhaul solutions to include instruction and lab exercises on implementation, installation, and troubleshooting. It covers legacy mobile backhaul architectures and the Cisco mobile backhaul solution including the Cisco ASR 920 Router, ASR 907 Router, and Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers. The end-to-end communication between devices as well as the configuration of those devices in particular architectures is also reviewed.
