Instrructor-led training: 4-Day Hands-On Course (8 hours /day)
Virtual live classroom: 5-Day Hands-On Course (6 hours / day)
Course Description
This course provides knowledge and hands-on experience with the Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband (SCA-BB). Students gain knowledge about the elements of this solution, including the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE), SCA-BB Console, Cisco Subscribtion Manager, and Cisco Collection Manager plus the Reporter, Service Configuration Editor, and Protocol Signature Editor tools. This course provides information to run and configure a SCA-BB solution for bandwidth control using several different subscriber modes: subscriberless; ananymous subscribers; subscriber-aware in push mode; subscriber-aware in pull mode; and using RADIUS or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) system.
SCA-BB is offered in a traditional classroom or as an interactive virtual live classroom training delivered over Cisco Web-Ex. The virtual live classroom training method is referred to as Virtual Live Classroom training. Both version are led by the same knowledgable instructors. The course materials ar the same (although minor changes are made to accommodate the virtual live classroom environment), and both versions have the same hands-on labs. This delivery method offers the same learning experience as the traditional version with the added benefit of remote attendance and access
Course Objectives
What you will learn:
- Describe the uses and benefits of bandwidth control provided by SCA-BB
- Configure the solution for building a SCA-BB site containing SCE, Subscriber Manager, Reporter, and a database.
- Implement the setting of a subscriberless global bandwidth controls.
- Generate detailed reports on bandwidth usage by subscribers and service usage.
- Describe the extensibilities and customization available with using a database for report generation.
- Configure anonymous and static users using the command-line interface on the Cisco SCE.
- Configure subscribers using the Subscriber Manager application.
- Implement the use of dynamic subscribers using SCA-BB integrated with an AAA system such as RADIUS or DHCP.
- Implement optimized bandwidth controls for multitiered groups of subscribers.
- Configure priorities for services for subscribers to optimize bandwidth usage.
- Configure quote limits for subscribers usage of types of messages/services.
- Create time-based bandwidth controls on subscribers.
- Create greater classification enhancement and refinement through the use of zones and flavors.
- Configure Quota Manager for control of bandwidth allocations.
- Describe the primary points and effects on overall system design with SCA-BB using policy server value added services (VAS) and high-availability considerations.
- Implement combinations of bandwidth controls: quota, time-based, and tiered services to proide comprehensive subscriber bandwitth controls.
- Describe how virtual links can reduce the number of packages needing to be defined.
- Describe security issues and the solution's use of filters, spam protection, distributed denial-of-service attack protection, worm controls, and anomaly detection.
- Create new protocol signature
