The learner should possess the knowledge and skills associated with the Cisco Certified Networking Associate Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA).
Course Objectives
After completing this course the student should be able to:
- Explain the need for QoS, describe the fundamentals of QoS policy, and identify and describe the different models that are used for ensuring QoS in a network
- Explain the use of MQC and AutoQoS to implement QoS on the network and describe some of the mechanisms used to monitor QoS implementations
- Given a converged network and a policy defining QoS on the network and describe some of the mechanisms used to monitor QoS implementations
- Use Cisco QoS queing 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
- Given a low speed WAN link, use Cisco link efficiency mechanisms to improve the bandwidth efficiency of the link
- Describe the recommended best practices and methods used for end-to-end QoS deployment in the enterprise
