Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP Release 9.2 Advanced Topics & Data over DWDM

This lab-intensive course introduces you to the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) Release 9.2 advanced features and data. This course covers topics not covered in the Installation to Protection course. You will learn how the 40-channel mesh network is designed, and you will set up a six-node 32/40 channel mesh. In the mesh node network, you will set up associations with time-division multiplexing (TDM) nodes and create a six-node pathswitched network using the DWDM network for connections. You will learn the important theoretical concepts that underlie data encapsulation and how they are put to use in the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP system.

You will gain practical knowledge and skills to successfully deploy data over DWDM in your network. In 12 hands-on labs, you will learn to configure the Cisco Transport Controller, the 2.5-Gb transponders, the 2.5-Gb and 10-Gb data cards, the Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet enhanced crossponders, and the 10 Gigabit Add-Drop Multiplexer (ADM-10G). There is also a review of G.709 encapsulation, G.7041 Generic Framing Protocol (GFP), forward error correction, and Ethernet. Finally, the course explores the ADM10G card, which provisions TDM services directly from the DWDM shelves. Protected spans will be provisioned, and DS3 circuits routed through the ADM10G, and Gigabit Ethernet ports will be connected using TDM circuits. This course combines lecture materials and hands-on labs throughout to make sure that you are able to successfully deploy a Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP data over DWDM network.
