This five-day instructor-led course provides students in-depth knowledge of IP QoS requirements, conceptual models using Differentiated Services (DiffServ), Integrated Services (IntServ) and Best Effort (over provisioning), and the implementation of IP QoS on Cisco IOS switch and router platforms.
The training curriculum also 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. This 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, allowing them to design and implement efficient, optimized, and trouble-free multi-service networks.
After completing this course participants can register to sit the (QOS) 642-642 exam.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Explain the need to implement Quality of Service (QoS) and explain methods for implementing and managing QoS • Identify and describe different models used for ensuring QoS in a network and explain key IP QoS mechanisms used to implement the models • Explain the use of MQC and AutoQoS to implement QoS on the network • Successfully classify and mark network traffic to implement the policy when given a converged network and a policy defining QoS requirements
Module 1: • Introduction to IP QoS
Module 2: • The Building Blocks of IP QoS
Module 3: • Introduction to Modular QoS CLI and Auto QoS
Module 4: • Classification and Marking Module
Module 5: • Congestion Management
Module 6: • Congestion Aviodance
Module 7: • Traffic Policing and Shaping
Module 8: • Link Efficiency Mechanisms
Module 9: • QoS Best Practices
This course is intended for technical engineers responsible for designing, implementing, and/or troubleshooting QoS on a network, and CCIP, CCVP, CCIE and IP Telephony Specialist candidates.
Before attending this course, students should have completed Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (ICND) or Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) as well as the Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers course (BGP) or equivalent is recommended because some BGP background is assumed in the QoS course.
