Cisco Prime Network Registrar (CPNR) + Implementing Cisco Prime Cable Provisioning 6.1 (CPCP) Bundle
The Cisco Prime© Network Registrar (PNR) and Cisco Prime Cable Provisioning (PCP or formerly known as Cisco Broadband Access Center) instructor-led course provides you with an introduction and advanced knowledge and skillsets required to successfully deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot Cisco Prime Network Registrar and Cisco Prime Cable Provisioning in a typical network environment. You will learn the fundamental concepts upon which the DHCP and DNS servers are based – this solidifies your understanding of how to troubleshoot and solve problems relating to installation and configuration. You will configure Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), you will use the WebUI and the command-line interface (CLI) to monitor the health, status, and functionality of the PNR application. You will learn the fundamental concepts upon which device provisioning using PCP servers is based. This course covers the key components of the Cisco PCP server architecture, along with the knowledge and hands-on skills you need to configure, manage, and troubleshoot RDU Servers, DPE Servers, and DHCP Extension Points. You will gain hands-on experience configuring lab servers hosted in a virtual environment.
