Gigabit Ethernet
for Telecommunications Service Networks
Course Duration:
2 day
Training Course Description:
The next generation of telecommunications networks will deliver
broadband data and multimedia services to users. The Ethernet
interface is becoming the interface of preference for user
computers, IP Phones, Digital IP Television and network servers
within the network itself. The interface has evolved since 1980 from
a simple LAN interface for sharing 10 Mbit/s, though 100 Mbit/s
switched LAN interface and to an interface that can also support
access lines and transmission tunks at speed from 2 Mbit/s up to 10
Gbit/s. It is inevitable therefore that next generation networks
will evolve towards using Gigabit Ethernet for access, trunk and
infrastructure connections.
This course will provide a detailed understanding for implementers,
designers, managers and infrastructure engineers that need to plan,
implement and use the new generation of networks and services.
When you have completed this course you will be able to:
- Describe the structure of IEEE
802 standards that define Gigabit Networks
- Select the appropriate physical
option for typical applications
- Compare the efficiency and
performance of different encoding options
- Interconnect devices taking
advantage of auto-negotiation of speed and duplex
- Build infrastructures using
802.1d Bridging and switching options
- Provide support for VLANs and
Quality of service using 802.1p/q
- Deliver high bandwidth reliably
and effectively using link aggregation
- Deploy subscriber access using
802.3ah
- Support multicasting and
multimedia services
- Manage new services using OAM
functions
Prerequisites:
Delegates should have a solid understanding of IP, WAN and
telecommunications technologies.
