5-Day Hands-On Course
Course Description
The Cisco® Deploying and Maintaining Carrier
Ethernet Services course gives students the knowledge and skills
required to configure, administer, and deploy Layer 2 Ethernet
services as defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) on a service
provider or large enterprise Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS)–enabled network. Students learn how to configure customer
premises equipment (CPE) to connect to the MPLS network and
configure the access, aggregation, distribution, and core portions
of the service provider or large enterprise network to provide the
Layer 2 Ethernet services. Students also learn how to secure the
network to protect it from attack. Labs are designed to reinforce
what is discussed in the lecture. This course is an updated version
of Advanced Services’ Metro Ethernet Switching Deployment Bootcamp
course.
Course Objectives
What you will learn:
- Identify the different Ethernet service type
architectures as defined by the MEF
- Identify the various devices used in a Carrier
Ethernet system
- Describe the functions of each device in a
Carrier Ethernet system
- Configure CPE network functions to connect to
a point of presence (POP)
- Configure access network functions to allow
customer data into the network
- Aggregate customer traffic in a service
provider network
- Configure a core network to transport customer
traffic through a service provider network
- Increase availability of Layer 2 services in a
service provider network by configuring pseudowire redundancy
- Configure Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)
and Hierarchical VPLS (H-VPLS) to extend customer networks to
multiple sites
- Scale the deployment of Ethernet multipoint
(E-LAN) services by configuring VPLS autodiscovery and pseudowire
switching
- Help ensure integrity and security of customer
data and a service provider network
- Identify the quality of service (QoS) used to
meet service-level agreements (SLAs) for different traffic types
- Monitor and manage end-to-end Layer 2 Ethernet
services using Ethernet operations, administration, and management
(OAM)
Intended Audience
This course is for network administrators,
network operators, and system administrators who need to know how to
configure and deploy Carrier Ethernet services in their network
environment. The following are the primary audience for this course:
- Network administrators and operators
- System administrators
Prerequisites
The following are prerequisites for this
course:
- Ability to efficiently use Cisco IOS® Software
command line interface to perform configurations
- Ability to design hierarchical Layer 2 and
Layer 3 networks
- Ability to configure, optimize, and scale
dynamic routing protocols, in particular Open Shortest Path First
(OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and MPLS
- Ability to configure, optimize, and scale
Layer 2 protocols
- Familiarity with QoS and SLA principles and
methodologies
