Price: 30000 INR
Availability: InStock

Overview

Who should attend

This 100hrs (Lectures + hands-on Lab) training is designed for technical professionals who need to know how to deploy a Cisco NCS 2000 Series Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network with Flex Spectrum. This course shows you how to plan, configure, and control optical networks using the Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 2000 series Flex Spectrum platform. The course teaches you how to design Flex Spectrum networks with multi-degree Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) multi-shelf nodes using the Cisco Transport Planner (CTP) software. Candidate will Configure an optical network and circuits using the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) software and learn which components and configurations take advantage of and/or are required for the Flex Spectrum 96-channel feature. This is a lab-intensive course and objectives are accomplished through hands on learning.
