Implementing Cisco Quality of Service

This training will help you:

• Gain the skills to identify, describe, and correctly implement the appropriate QoS mechanisms that are required to create an effective administrative policy providing QoS
• Get the knowledge for designs and usage rules for advanced QoS features
• Earn 40 CE credits toward recertification

After taking this course, you will 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 queuing mechanisms to manage network congestion
• Use Cisco QoS congestion avoidance mechanisms to reduce the effects of congestion on the network
• Describe how link efficiency mechanisms can be used collectively to improve bandwidth efficiency and reduce delay
• Describe the need for wireless QoS in WLANs due to the expansion of high-bandwidth data applications and time-sensitive multimedia applications in vertical and enterprise environments, and the need for a unified approach to support multi-vendor time-sensitive applications and accelerate the adoption rate of QoS
• Describe the need for QoS in modern Software-Defined Networks (SDN) for ensuring reliable performance of crucial applications and services
• Describe the steps and best practices for optimally deploying QoS and understand the network elements involved in an enterprise end-to-end QoS deployment, as well as the importance of QoS interaction between the enterprise and service provider networks

• 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 enterprise or service provider environments

Before taking this offering, you should have:
• Cisco Certified Networking Associate v2.0 certification
