Course Length:

5 Days

Course Description:

CCVP1 Boot Camp course runs at an accelerated pace, Monday thru Friday, with extended hours, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM each day, covering material from the CVOICE v6.0 course and the QOS v2.2 course. The CCVP1 v6.0 course provides an understanding of converged voice and data networks and also the challenges faced by the various network technologies. The course also provides network administrators and network engineers with the knowledge and skills required to integrate gateways and gatekeepers into an enterprise VoIP network. This course is one of several courses in the Cisco CCVP™ track that addresses design, planning, and deployment practices and provides comprehensive hands-on experience in configuration and deployment of VoIP networks. The CCVP1 v6.0 course also provides students with in-depth knowledge of IP QoS requirements, conceptual models using Differentiated Services (DiffServ), Integrated Services (IntServ) and Best Effort (over provisioning), and the implementation of IP QoS on Cisco IOS switch and router platforms.

Who Should Attend:

This course is for Network Engineers who will be designing IP Telephony solutions that include the deployment of Cisco Call Manager software and associated VoIP equipment. It is also for students completing the CCVP certification track.

Benefits of Attendance:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Configure gateway interconnections to support VoIP and PSTN calls and to integrate with a PSTN and PBX
• Describe the basic signaling protocols that are used on voice gateways and configure a gateway to support calls using the various signaling protocols
• Define a dial plan, describe the purpose of each dial plan component, and implement a dial plan on a voice gateway
• Implement gatekeepers and directory gatekeepers, and identify redundancy options for gatekeepers
• Implement a Cisco UBE gateway to connect to an Internet telephony service provider
• Identify the components of the Cisco Unity system, describe their standard and optional features, and explain and how they integrate into a unified messaging system
• Explain the need to implement Quality of Service (QoS) and explain methods for implementing and managing QoS
• Identify and describe different models used for ensuring QoS in a network and explain key IP QoS mechanisms used to implement the models
• Explain the use of MQC and AutoQoS to implement QoS on the network
• 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
• Successfully use Cisco link efficiency mechanisms to improve the bandwidth efficiency of the link
• Correctly select the most appropriate QoS mechanisms for providing QoS using Cisco best practices

Prerequisites:

Students should have a working knowledge of fundamental terms and concepts of computer networking to include LANs, WANs, and IP switching and routing. They should also have basic internetworking skills taught in Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND), or equivalent knowledge. In addition, students must have the ability to configure and operate Cisco routers and switches and to enable VLANs and DHCP and knowledge of traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) operations and technologies. Completion of Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (ICND) or Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) and Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers or equivalent is recommended because some BGP background is assumed for the QoS course.
