Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QOS) v2.2 provides students with in-depth knowledge of IP quality of service (QoS) requirements, conceptual models such as Best Effort, Integrated Services (IntServ) and Differentiated Services (DiffServ), and the implementation of IP QoS on Cisco IOS platforms. The curriculum covers the theory of IP QoS, design issues, and configuration of various QoS mechanisms to facilitate the creation of effective administrative policies providing QoS.
Case studies and lab exercises included in the course help students to apply the concepts mastered in individual modules to real-life scenarios. The course also gives students design and usage rules for various advanced IP QoS features and the integration of IP QoS with underlying Layer 2 QoS mechanisms. This gives students the opportunity to design and implement efficient, optimal, and trouble-free multiservice networks.
Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able to identify, describe, and correctly implement the appropriate QoS mechanisms that are required to create an effective administrative policy providing QoS.
Who should attend this course?
- Pre- and post-sales technical engineers responsible for designing, implementing, or troubleshooting networks
- Network architects responsible for designing multiservice networks to carry voice, video, and data traffic in an enterprise or service provider environment
- CCIP/CCVP candidates
