Cisco Expressway Training: MRA, B2B and Edge

Master the collaboration edge: Expressway-C/E design, certificates, Mobile and Remote Access, B2B calling and hybrid connectivity, all in a realistic DMZ lab.

Training built by working engineers

  • Realistic DMZ

    Labs include a firewall with static NAT, split DNS and a private CA, the parts that actually break.

  • Certificates, demystified

    A clear method for SANs, trust stores and renewals across the edge.

  • Edge Services weighting

    Edge Services make up 20% of the CCIE Collaboration lab blueprint.

Expressway Training: common questions

Why does MRA fail so often in production?

Usually certificates (missing SANs or trust), DNS SRV records or firewall/NAT rules. Our labs reproduce each failure so you can fix it methodically.

Do I need security or firewall knowledge?

Basic understanding of NAT and certificates helps. The course covers what UC engineers need to work with firewall teams.
