VOIP networks, QoS, wireless security and basic wireless management are just the start of what is covered in this Cisco 642-845 ONT training course. You will gain the knowledge and skills needed for professional networking, as well as for passing the exam!
The 642-845 ONT tests knowledge and skills in optimizing and providing effective Quality of Servive (QoS) techniques for converged networks.
ONT is one leg in the series of Cisco CCNP courses. The knowledge in this course can be used toward any one of 3 certifications: CCNP, CCIP, and the CCDP. Currently, Train Signal offers training for the full CCNP series.
Cisco ONT Training Course Outline
Introduction to ONT
We will cover an overview of topics, introduction to Chris Bryant, and how to get the maximum out of this course.
* Welcome to Your ONT Video Boot Camp!
* About Your Instructor
* The ONT Hands-On Challenge
Video 1
Introduction to Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS is increasingly more important in today’s network. In this Video we cover the basic use and deployment of QoS, and I will explain why it’s important for transmitting different types of data in a timely fashion. This section is vital for passing the ONT and for use in real world networks.
* What is QoS? Why do we use it?
* Three Steps to a QoS Deployment
* Delay Types (and the Network Admins who hate them)
* QoS Model Comparison
Video 2
Queuing Methods
In this section, we will discuss the theory of the different types and uses, and I will demonstrate their use in the labs and hands on practice. Most of the methods are valuable for real world experience, but the section on Low Latency is very important to master for the ONT exam.
* FIFO
* Round-Robin and Weighted Round-Robin
* Priority Queuing
* Weighted Fair Queuing
* Class-based WFQ
* Low Latency Queuing
Video 3
Marking and Classifying Traffic
Marking and Classifying traffic are used to define a QoS service class. You must learn the purpose of marking and classifying, as well as, what order to use each. This section is important for passing your exam and for using these processes on real world networks.
* Which Comes First?
* L2 Marking – CoS
* L3 Marking – IP Prec, DSCP
* DSCP and PHB
* NBAR Theory and Operation
* To Trust or Not To Trust (incoming markings, that is)
Video 4
Congestion Avoidance, Policing and Shaping
In this section, we will discuss ways of avoiding congestion. We will discuss how to differentiate between the processes. These topics are important for the real world and for passing the exam.
* Tail Drop, RED and WRED
* Traffic Shaping and Policing
* Payload Compression Methods
* Header Compression Methods
* Intro to Link Fragmentation and Interleaving
Video 5
End-to-End QoS
It’s very important to learn the rules, theory, and commands discussed in the Video for the exam. We will cover an introduction to VPNs in order to understand preclassification. Also, we will discuss information on how to secure your router, which is vital for the exam and for security in the real world.
* Intro to VPN
* QoS Preclassification
* SLAs Defined
* The Control Plane and CoPP
Video 6
AutoQoS
We will discuss the basic QoS configure methods, which you will need to know for the exam (possibly for the real world). Understand the prerequisites and how it works, and also, the variations and uses.
* The 3 Basic QoS Config Methods
* Intro to AutoQoS
* Prerequisites
* VoIP and Enterprise
* Live Demo of SDM and AutoQoS Wizard
Video 7
Introduction to Wireless LANs
In order to pass the exam and uses WLANs in your network, we will discuss the basics of WLANs, the uses of WLAN functions, and compare these functions.
* DCF and WMM
* SSID and MAC Address Authentication
* WEP, WPA, and WPA2
* EAP, LEAP, and other EAPs
Video 8
WLAN Management
This Video covers installations, operation, theory, and model types. This information is necessary as it will be covered on the ONT exam.
* A Quick Intro to Cisco Unified Wireless Networks
* WLAN Implementation Methods
* CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE)
* Planning for WCS Deployment (Wireless Control System)
* WCS Versions
* Live Demos!
Video 9
Voice Over IP (VoIP)
Another one of the fastest growing sectors of the IT industry is VoIP. Understand the protocol for transmitting voice over the internet. This is necessary for work in the real world, future voice studies, and on the ONT.
* Call Components
* Analog and Digital Interface Types
* VoIP Signaling Protocols
* Data Conversion Processes
* Overhead
* Introduction to Cisco CallManager
* Call Admission Control
* CallManager Deployment Models
* Compression, Comfort Noise, and VAD
* POTS and VOIP Dial Peer Config and Troubleshooting
