Cisco Service Provider Mobility Foundation and
Intermediate LTE
The Cisco® Service Provider Mobility Foundation and Intermediate LTE courses are
instructor-led courses offered by Cisco Learning Services that provide detailed
instruction on how to manage, monitor, and configure the Cisco ASR 5000 series, and
build the required services to support an LTE/SAE public mobile LAN network.
In the foundation sections of the course, you are introduced to the hardware and software architecture of the ASR
5500 and ASR 5000. Through hands-on labs you learn how to navigate and use the StarOS command line and
configure threshold crossing alarms.
In the intermediate sections, you focus on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards and how the
ASR 5500 and 5000 are configured to support the 4G entities such as Mobility Management Entity (MME), SGW
and PDN Gateway (PGW). You build and monitor single subscriber call flows with default and dedicated bearers
on the ASR 5500 and 5000. Troubleshooting techniques for the entire LTE/SAE packet core are used throughout
the course.
Duration
5 days

Course Objectives
After completing this course, you should have practical knowledge of the following aspects of the platform:
●
Hardware and software architecture of the ASR 5500 chassis
●
Hardware and software architecture of the ASR 5000 chassis
●
StarOS command line interface (CLI) for chassis management, monitoring, and configuration
●
Initial system configuration including creating administrative users, hardware redundancy, and remote
management functions
●
Implementing management functions, such as threshold crossing alarms and hardware and software
monitoring
