Course Overview
The
Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QoS) v2.2 is a
five-day
course that 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.
Prerequisites
-
Completion of Interconnecting Cisco networking
Devices (ICND 1) or Cisco Certified Networking
Associate (CCNA).
-
The Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers course (BGP) or
equivalent is recommended because some BGP
background is assumed for the QoS course.
Course Objectives
After completing this course the student
should be able to:
-
Identify the components of the Cisco Unity system,
describe their standard and optional features, and
explain 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 Auto QoS 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 the Cisco best practices
