Description

This four-day hands-on course provides you with the information required to implement various broadband aggregation technologies on Cisco Systems® routers, including routed bridge encapsulation (RBE), Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (PPPoA), Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). Nine lab sessions help you practice the techniques taught to ensure you are able to implement the technologies on your network. You also explore related technologies including PPPoE over Ethernet (PPPoEoE), PPPoE over IEEE 802.1Q (PPPoEoVLAN), and PPPoE over IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling (PPPoEoQinQ). You will learn how to implement broadband aggregation on the Cisco® 10000 Series Router and apply the lessons learned as applicable to the Cisco 7200 and 7301 Series Routers.

Objectives

After completing this course the student should be able to:

• Compare and contrast the various broadband aggregation architectures available with Cisco routers
• Explain how RBE and RFC 1483 routing work, describe their typical architectures and benefits, and configure them on Cisco routers
• Explain how PPPoA and PPPoE work, along with descriptions of their typical architecture and benefits, and configure them on Cisco routers
• Explain and configure various methods for optimizing subscriber connections including PVC range, auto detect PPPoX encapsulation, VC class, ATM PVC autoprovisioning, and BBA groups
• Explain AAA services available on Cisco routers and RADIUS servers and configure AAA services on Cisco routers
• Explain how L2TP works, describe its typical architecture and benefits, and configure it on Cisco routers
• Describe the Cisco 10000 Series router and explain the features and functions of system-wide hardware and software components
• Identify and describe system modules and services on the Cisco 10000 Series router that are utilized in broadband aggregation deployment scenarios

Prerequisites

• Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND)
• Campus ATM (CATM)
• Completion of one of the VoDs: Basic DSL End-to-End Architecture or SP DSL Technologies Essentials.
