Optimizing Converged Cisco
Networks (ONT) Version 1.0
5 days Instructor-Led


Course Overview
This five-day course provides the necessary skills in optimizing and
providing effective QOS techniques in converged networks operating
voice, wireless and security applications. After completing this course
the student should be able to: Explain the Cisco hierarchical network
model as it pertains to an end-to-end enterprise network, describe
specific requirements for implementing a VOIP network, describe the need
to implement QoS and the methods for implementing QoS on a converged
network using Cisco's routers and Catalyst Switches, explain the key IP
QoS mechanisms used to implement the DiffServ QoS model, configure Auto
QoS for Enterprise, describe and configure wireless security and basic
wireless management.
Who will benefit from this course?
This course is intended for networking professionals who are considering
or making the migration from IPv4 to IPv6. The goal is to gain the
skills needed to understand and explain the operation of IPv6, implement
IPv6 services and applications including DNS and DHCPv6 and identify
IPv6 security threats and design practices.
