Master Cisco Best Practices
With CIM Voice Internetworking: VoIP Quality of Service, you acquire the skills needed to implement and fine tune QoS for Voice over IP routing on Cisco routers. From an overview of QoS concepts to detailed examination of Cisco IOS(r) Software QoS and VoIP routing commands, you will learn how to solve call quality problems caused by delay and inefficient packet compression in Voice over IP networks. Mastering techniques and methods developed by Cisco Technical Assistance Center engineers, you will enable and troubleshoot link efficiency mechanisms and QoS queuing components on multilink PPP and Frame Relay networks.
Interactive Simulation Environment
CIM Voice Internetworking: VoIP Quality of Service places you in a simulated networking environment without the need for any network connections. You work hands-on with virtual Cisco 3640 routers, developing your networking skills without the costly investment in actual network hardware. Lab scenarios that cast you in the role of a network administrator accompany each tutorial, allowing you to apply the knowledge you have gained and practice your configuration skills. Challenge Labs present you with general information then ask you to identify the problem affecting network performance and complete the remaining configurations, helping you to assess your understanding of QoS operation and enhance your troubleshooting skills.
Self-Paced Anytime, Anywhere Learning
You control the pace of learning. You can go through the tutorials, Configuration Labs, and Challenge Labs in any order, depending on what you want to learn or practice. Optional audio and video guides supplement the instructions on screen. Hyperlinks connect you to a glossary and context-sensitive Cisco IOS Software command references. Technical tips reinforce your growing knowledge, and pop quizzes allow you to assess your progress. This robust combination of technology tutorials, simulated lab exercises, audio and video guides, hyperlinked references, and quizzes results in a superior learning product and provides you with what matters most-actual hands-on networking experience.
CIM Voice Internetworking: VoIP Quality of Service helps you master the mechanisms and techniques necessary to deploy and manage QoS for Voice over IP routing and is an excellent preparation tool for the CCIE(r) exam.
