Junos Segment Routing with SRv6 Micro-SIDs - ILO

This four-day, advanced-level course provides an in-depth introduction to segment routing (SR), otherwise known as Source Packet Routing in Networking (SPRING). The course focuses on using IS-IS and BGP to deploy Segment Routing for IPv6 (SRv6) micro-SIDs, which encode multiple instructions into a single IPv6 address in the data plane. After exploring the features and use cases for SRv6 with micro-SIDs, students are introduced to the fundamentals of a segment-routed network, such as locator blocks, locator prefixes, and a variety of BGP service functions such as uDT4 and uDT6 segments. This also includes VPN configuration, with a focus on Layer 3 VPNs and the MPLS label transposition process. Students are then taught how an SRv6 micro-SID network can encode multiple segments into a single address, and the segment popping process that takes place across a path. Students configure End and End.X transport segments to test this, which acts as a starting point to deploy a variety of backup paths with Topology-Independent Loop-Free Alternate (TI-LFA). A self-study section then follows that considers topics including classic SRv6, microloop avoidance, and some advanced TI-LFA calculation concepts. Students also briefly learn the most fundamental concepts of Segment Routing for MPLS (SR-MPLS). This knowledge enables students to compare and contrast the two SR methods. This course is based on Junos OS Release 25.2R1.8.
