Description
The Cisco® Deploying and Maintaining Carrier
Ethernet Services course gives students the knowledge and skills
required to configure, administer, and deploy Layer 2 Ethernet services
as defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) on a service provider (SP)
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-enable network. Students learn how
to configure customer premise equipment (CPE) to connect to a SP
network and configure an access network and aggregation, distribution,
and core portions of a SP network. Students also learn how to secure a
SP network to protect it from attack. Labs are available to reinforce
what is discussed in the lecture.
Please note: Students need to provide their own Windows-based laptops and 15-ft-or longer ethernet cables.Objectives
After completing this course, the student should be able to:
- Identify the different Ethernet service type architectures as defined by the MEF
- Identify the various devices used within a carrier Ethernet system
- Describe the functions of each device within a carrier Ethernet system
- Configure CPE network functions to connect to a point of presence (POP)
- Configure routed CPE functions
- Configure a routing interface and routing protocol
- Configure bridged CPE functions
- Configure an 802.1Q interface
- Configure access network functions to allow customer data into the network by completing the following tasks:
- Configure an access node user network interface (UNI)
- Configure an access node network-to-network interface (NNI)
- Configure 802.1Q trunking per port and per access node
- Configure Layer 2 protocol tunneling (L2PT)
- Configure 1:1 and N:1 virtual local area network (VLAN) connectivity
- Aggregate customer traffic within the SP network by completing the following tasks:
- Configure flexible Ethernet UNI functions
- Configure UNI classification based on port, 802.1Q, 802.1Q range, QinQ, and untagged traffic
- Configure translation and rewrites
- Configure carrier Ethernet forwarding functions
- Configure EoMPLS pseudowire and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) Virtual Forwarding Instance
- Configure hierarchical VPLS (H-VPLS)
- Configure EoMPLS pseudowire aggregation
- Configure EoMPLS pseudowire switch function
- Configure MPLS NNI function between aggregation and core
- Configure a core network to transport customer traffic through a SP network
- Configure MPLS within a core network
- Increase availability of layer 2 services within a SP network
by configuring pseudowire redundancy and MPLS traffic engineering with
fast reroute
- Ensure integrity and security of customer data and a SP network by completing the following tasks:
- Secure access into a SP network
- Secure the aggregation and distribution network layers
- Implement quality of service (QoS) mechanisms in order to meet service level agreements (SLAs) for different traffic types
- Monitor and manage end-to-end layer 2 Ethernet services using Ethernet-OAM
Prerequisites
- Ability to efficiently use Cisco IOS command line interface to perform configurations
- Ability to design hierarchical layer 2 and layer 3 networks
- Ability to configure, optimize, and scale dynamic routing protocols, in particular OSPF, BGP, and MPLS
- Ability to configure, optimize, and scale layer 2 protocols
- Familiarity with QoS and SLA principles and methodologies
Who Should Attend
This course is for network administrators, network operators,
and system administrators who need to know how to configure and deploy
carrier Ethernet services in their network environment. The following
are the primary audience for this course:
- Network administrators and operators
- System administrators
