Maintaining Cisco Service Provider Quality of Service

Course details

The Maintaining Service Provider Quality of Service (MSPQS) course is designed to provide learners with the knowledge needed to provide support in a service-provider environment using quality-of-service (QoS) mechanisms. The course focuses on the QoS mechanisms, how they are implemented using Cisco IOS® Software and Cisco IOS XR Software, and how to perform monitoring and troubleshooting of QoS in service provider environments. The course is also intended to help prepare students for the CCNP SP Operations certification exam.

Target Audience

This course is designed for:

• Support staff
• Service provider network operations center (NOC) personnel
• Service provider engineers
• Service provider partners

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Identify the typical QoS requirements in service provider networks and list solutions and describe the change, performance, and fault management procedures for QoS.
• Perform changes in the configuration of QoS based on designs and implementation templates as well as ITIL®-based change management processes and procedures
• Gather and interpret performance statistics for QoS mechanisms using various tools such as show commands and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-based monitoring tools.
• Perform fault management for QoS mechanisms using various tools such as show commands and SNMP-based monitoring tools.
