Description
Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QOS) v2.2
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 administrative
policies providing QoS.
Case studies and lab exercises included in the
course help learners to apply the concepts mastered in individual
modules to real-life scenarios. The course also gives learners design
and usage rules for various advanced QoS features and the integration
of QoS with underlying Layer 2 QoS mechanisms. This gives learners the
opportunity to design and implement efficient, optimal, and
trouble-free multiservice networks.
Upon completion of this course, the learner will be
able to identify, describe, and correctly implement the appropriate QoS
mechanisms that are required to create an effective administrative
policy providing QoS. Objectives
Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:
- Explain the need to implement QoS and explain 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 defining 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 a low-speed WAN links
- Select the most appropriate QoS mechanisms for providing QoS
using Cisco “best practices” in service provider and enterprise
networks
Prerequisites
- Completion of Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (ICND) or Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA).
- The Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers course (BGP) or
equivalent is recommended because some BGP background is assumed for
the QoS course.
Who Should Attend
The primary audience for this course is as follows:
- 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 an enterprise or
service provider environment
- CCIP & CCVP candidates
The secondary audience for this course is as follows:
- CCIE routing and switching candidates
