5-Day Hands-On Course
Course Description
This five-day class provides you with the
information required to optimally deploy a network of Cisco® 7600
Series Routers. You will learn the primary points of the system
architecture and features so you can use the correct features for
your network. Hands-on lab sessions enable you to practice the
skills needed to deploy a Cisco 7600 Series Router. You will learn
to apply quality of service (QoS) techniques, deploy Multiprotocol
Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 3 VPNs in addition to Layer 2 Ethernet
over MPLS (EoMPLS) and Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) VPNs, and
utilize Stateful Switchover (SSO) and Nonstop Forwarding (NSF). You
will also explore Cisco 7600 Series packet-forwarding techniques and
the supported Cisco supervisor engines, route switch processors,
line cards, shared port adapters (SPAs), and SPA interface
processors (SIPs) to help improve the system’s performance. You will
gain the knowledge and skills to use the high-availability features
of the Cisco 7600 Series to make sure your network benefits the
most.
Course Objectives
What you will learn:
- Describe the power management features of
Cisco 7600 Series Routers
- Configure the high-availability features of
the Cisco 7600 Series: SSO and NSF
- Characterize the architecture of the Cisco
Series Supervisor Engine 720, Route Switch Processor 720, and
Cisco Supervisor Engine 32, including the forwarding engine and
switch fabric
- Describe the packet flow in the Cisco 7600
Series for unicast and multicast
- Deploy software resiliency features
- Implement QoS features on Cisco Catalyst LAN
ports, WAN ports, FlexWAN ports, ES20 ports, ES+ ports, and
SIP/SPA ports
- Deploy Layer 3 MPLS VPNs on the Cisco 7600
Series
- Describe MPLS QoS differentiated service modes
in the Cisco 7600 Series
- Deploy basic Layer 2 EoMPLS and VPLS VPNs in
the Cisco 7600 Series
- Describe packet flow and packet recirculation
- Characterize the line-card architecture of the
Cisco 7600 Series
- Identify different switching modes in the
Cisco 7600 Series
- Learn about the available methods to protect
the Supervisor Engine 720 and RSP 720 Engine from
denial-of-service attacks.
