Course Overview
THIS COURSE HAS NOW REACHED END-OF-LIFE (EOL) EFFECTIVE APRIL 26, 2010. PLEASE REFER TO THE TSHOOT CLASS IN THE COURSE CATALOGUE.
As a result of the revision to CCNP, the BSCI, BCMSN, COMP, ISCW and ONT exams will be reaching end of life and the last day to take those exams will be July 31, 2010. Based on the substantial overlap of test topics, passing scores achieved on BSCI, BCMSN and/or COMP will continue to be accepted for certification purposes as long as they remain valid--three years from the date passed. In contrast, ISCW and ONT will not be accepted towards CCNP certification after their retirement date. Beginning August 1, 2010, all new CCNP certifications will require a passing score on the new TSHOOT exam. These rules result in a variety of possible exam combinations for CCNP candidates, based on the timeframe for completing certification. You can visit Cisco.com to help identify the exam combination options.
This five-day course provides the necessary skills in optimizing and providing effective QOS techniques in converged networks operating voice, wireless and security applications. After completing this course the student should be able to: Explain the Cisco hierarchical network model as it pertains to an end-to-end enterprise network, describe specific requirements for implementing a VOIP network, describe the need to implement QoS and the methods for implementing QoS on a converged network using Cisco's routers and Catalyst Switches, explain the key IP QoS mechanisms used to implement the DiffServ QoS model, configure Auto QoS for Enterprise, describe and configure wireless security and basic wireless management.
Target Audience
IT professionals, network administrators, and technicians who need to design, configure, or support a Cisco Network that utilizes Cisco Voice or Wireless technologies. This course is highly recommended for people pursuing CCNP, CCDP, and CCIE certifications.
