Cisco Voice Over IP v6.0 (CVOICE) - 5-day Course

Course Description

Cisco Voice over IP (CVOICE) v6.0 provides an understanding of converged voice and data networks and also the challenges faced by the various network technologies. The course also provides network administrators and network engineers with the knowledge and skills required to integrate gateways and gatekeepers into an enterprise VoIP network. This course is one of several courses in the Cisco CCVP™ track that addresses design, planning, and deployment practices and provides comprehensive hands-on experience in configuration and deployment of VoIP networks .

Course Objectives

Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:

Describe VoIP, voice gateways, special requirements for VoIP calls, codecs and codec complexity, and how DSPs are used as media resources on a voice gateway
Configure gateway interconnections to support VoIP and PSTN calls and to integrate with a PSTN and PBX
Describe the basic signaling protocols that are used on voice gateways and configure a gateway to support calls using the various signaling protocols
Define a dial plan, describe the purpose of each dial plan component, and implement a dial plan on a voice gateway
Implement gatekeepers and directory gatekeepers, and identify redundancy options for gatekeepers
Implement a Cisco UBE gateway to connect to an Internet telephony service provider

Intended Audience

The primary audience for this course is as follows:

Students completing the CCVP certification track
