Overview
Skills Taught
Audience
 Prerequisites
Outline
Duration: 6 Classes
Skill Level: Intermediate
Certifications: CCVP, CCIP
Delivery Type: Expert Live, Expert Encore

 

Description
Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QoS) provides learners with in-depth knowledge of quality of service (QoS) requirements, conceptual models such as Best-Effort, Integrated Services (IntServ), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ), and the implementation of QoS on Cisco IOS platforms. The curriculum covers the theory of QoS, design issues, and configuration of various QoS mechanisms to facilitate the creation of effective QoS administrative policies. Case studies and lab activities included in the course help learners apply the concepts that are mastered in individual modules to real-life scenarios. This course supplies learners with design and usage rules for various advanced QoS features and for the integration of QoS with underlying Layer 2 QoS mechanisms, allowing the learners to optimize multiservice networks.

Skills Taught

After completing this course, the student should be able to:

  • Explain the need to implement QoS and methods for implementing and managing QoS
  • Identify and describe different models used for ensuring QoS in a network, and explain key QoS mechanisms used to implement the models
  • Explain the use of MQC and AutoQoS to implement QoS on the network
  • Classify and mark network traffic to implement a policy according to QoS requirements
  • Use Cisco QoS queuing mechanisms to manage network congestion
  • Use Cisco QoS congestion avoidance mechanisms to reduce the effects of congestion on the network
  • Use Cisco QoS traffic policing and traffic-shaping mechanisms to effectively limit the rate of network traffic
  • Use Cisco link efficiency mechanisms to improve the bandwidth efficiency of low-speed WAN links
  • Select the most appropriate QoS mechanisms for providing QoS using Cisco best practices in service provider and enterprise networks

    Audience
    This course is recommended for any individual needing to design and/or implement QoS mechanisms. Implementing Cisco QoS is recommended training for individuals seeking certification as a Cisco Certified Voice Professional (CCVP), Cisco Certified Internet Professional (CCIP), or an IP Communications specialization. Additionally, CCIE candidates (R/S, Security, or Voice) can use this course to prepare themselves for QoS objectives in the CCIE lab exams.

    Prerequisites
    Completion of the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (ICND) curriculum, or equivalent knowledge and experience, is recommended. Familiarity with Border Gateway Protocol is also recommended and assumed in this curriculum.
