Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QOS) v2.5

Course code: QoS v2.5

Duration: 5 Days


Prerequisite:

The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:
•    Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA)

Course Description:

Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QoS) v2.5 course provides you 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.

Course Objectives:

Upon completing this course, you will be able to meet these objectives:
•    You will be able to identify, describe, and correctly implement the appropriate QoS mechanisms required to create an effective administrative policy providing QoS

Intended Audience:

•    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 enterprise or service provider environments
