(SPRI - 300-510)

Advanced Routing

About the Certification

This certification is a specialization within the CCNP Service Provider track, focusing on advanced routing technologies used in ISP and Telco networks. It covers advanced topics such as BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE), Segment Routing (SR), Route Policies, and High Availability. It is considered the direct concentration exam that complements the core exam 350-501 SPCOR, forming a key component of the CCNP Service Provider certification path.

Do I need certifications before it ?

No, not officially.

However, a strong understanding of the 350-501 SPCOR content is highly recommended, along with hands-on experience in routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, or IS-IS, and prior exposure to MPLS technologies. Experience within ISP environments or large enterprise networks is highly beneficial for fully understanding the advanced concepts covered.

Which certifications are recommended after this one ?

Not mandatory.
However, for professionals seeking a strong career path in advanced routing protocols—especially in network design, configuring protocols such as OSPF and BGP, and optimizing the performance of large-scale networks—the Advanced Routing certification is the strongest option.

What are the main uses of the (SPRI – 300-510) Advanced Routing certification ?

  • CCNP Service Provider – By passing both SPCOR and SPRI
  • 300-535 SPAUTO (Service Provider Automation) – Integrate automation with advanced routing
  • Cisco Design certifications – For architectural design specialization in service provider networks
  • CCIE Service Provider (Lab) – SPRI knowledge is fundamental for the routing section of the lab
