Course Content
Metro Ethernet switching solutions allow service providers to offer Layer 2 Ethernet-based services that support point-to-point and multipoint connectivity.
The Metro Ethernet Switching Deployment boot camp is designed to teach attendees how to configure and test seven Metro Ethernet services that make up Cisco's Metro Ethernet Solution Release 3.x. Metro Ethernet architectures, features, and network designs will be covered.
In hands-on labs, attendees will build various Layer 2 VPN Ethernet service solutions including Ethernet Relay Service (ERS), Ethernet Wireless Service EWS), Ethernet Multipoint Service (EMS), Ethernet Relay Multipoint Service (ERMS), ERS Access to Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN, and Access to ATM Internetworking Service.
Course Objectives
After completing this course the student should be able to:
- Configure and test various Metro Ethernet deployment options for Release 3.x.
- Relate the importance of Cisco?s Metro Ethernet solution to service provider markets
- Describe, configure, and troubleshoot the various Metro Ethernet deployment solutions
- Given a particular service model and platform configuration, identify the various caveats of each service model
- Identify the configuration differences between Layer 2 Metro Ethernet service implementation and Layer 3 MPLS
- Given a specific customer scenario, identify the various equipment and solutions that would best fit the customer?s requirements
- Implement features and functions of the various platforms that are supported by Metro Ethernet solutions
