4-day Hands-on Cisco Authorized Course

Course Description
In this lab-intensive course, get an introduction to the data features and functions of Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) Release 8. You will learn the important theoretical concepts that underlie data encapsulation and how the concepts are put to use in the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP system. Gain practical knowledge and skills to successfully deploy data over DWDM in your network. Learn to determine which MSTP cards to use based on your network requirements.
In seven hands-on labs, you will learn to configure Cisco Transport Control, 2.5 Gigabit transponders, 2.5 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit data cards, Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet crossponders, and 10 Gigabit Add-Drop Multiplexer (ADM-10G). You'll also review G.709 encapsulation, G.7041 Generic Framing Protocol (GFP), forward error correction, and Ethernet.
This course combines lecture materials and hands-on labs throughout to ensure that you are able to successfully deploy a Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP data over DWDM network.
