Cisco Optical Technology Advanced (OPT300)
Description
Duration: 4 days
Continuing Education credits: 32 points
The Cisco Optical Technology Advanced (OPT300) is an instructor-led or virtual instructor-led course that teaches the skills necessary to deploy advanced features of the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) and Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 2000 Series networks.
This course covers how to use the Cisco Transport Planner Design Tool for creating network topologies, how to create advanced topologies, and how to use advanced dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) features such as G.709 encapsulation, generic framing protocol G.7041, Layer 1 circuits, quality of service, crossponder networks using T1 over Ethernet, and encryption. Cards used in this course include the ONS 15454 40-Channel Wavelength Cross-Connect (WXC), 100G transponders, 10 Gigabit muxponder and transponder, 10G Data Multiplexer Enhanced, Any-Rate Muxponder and Crossponder, 10GE-XP and GE-XP Enhanced, 100G and 200G transponder and muxponder, and the Cisco 10G network encryption cards.
