Cisco Optical

• Routing fundamentals and IP addressing
• Familiarity with the Cisco ONS 15454 family
• Knowledge of SONET or SDH structure and hierarchy
• Knowledge of DWDM basics
• Experience using optical test equipment

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Connect and configure a Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP chassis
• Identify node configurations according to card population
• Characterize the role of Cisco Transport Planner in turning up an MSTP network
• Provision DWDM circuits using Cisco Transport Controller
• Perform performance monitoring, alarm verification, and fault isolation Isolate “optical” network issues

In this intense four-day course you learn the skills necessary to deploy a multiservice transport platform (MSTP) network, including fiber-cleaning techniques, fiber test requirements, and node turn-up. You will learn to deploy different dense wavelengthdivision multiplexing (DWDM) topologies using Cisco® Transport Planner to provision the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP). The MSTP Basic course is designed to give you significant classroom hands-on time to validate the lessons learned in lecture using the comprehensive classroom hardware and labs.
