CVOICE - Cisco Voice Over IP Table of Contents Introduction Audience At Course Completion Prerequisites Applicable Products Program Contents Course Outline Introduction This five-day course covers the essential topics of converged voice and data networks and also the challenges faced by the various network technologies. The course also provides network administrators and network engineers with the knowledge and skills required to integrate gateways and gatekeepers into an enterprise VoIP network. This course is one of several courses in the Cisco CCVP track that addresses design, planning, and deployment practices and provides comprehensive hands-on experience in configuration and deployment of VoIP networks. Audience This course is intended for students who have general working knowledge of Local and Wide Area Networks and basic configuration of voice and data networks. Network engineers, architects, and support staff that require a fundamental understanding of packet telephony technologies that are common for both enterprise and service provider applications will also benefit for this course. At Course Completion At the end of this course, you'll be able to: Describe VoIP, voice gateways, special requirements for VoIP calls, codecs and codec complexity, and how DSPs are used as media resources on a voice gateway Configure gateway interconnections to support VoIP and PSTN calls and to integrate with a PSTN and PBX Describe the basic signaling protocols that are used on voice gateways and configure a gateway to support calls using the various signaling protocols Define a dial plan, describe the purpose of each dial plan component, and implement a dial plan on a voice gateway Implement gatekeepers and directory gatekeepers, and identify redundancy options for gatekeepers Implement a Cisco UBE gateway to connect to an Internet telephony service provider Prerequisites To fully benefit from this course, students should have the following prerequisite skills and knowledge: Completion of ICND 1 and 2 or Cisco CCNA certification Working knowledge of fundamental terms and concepts of computer networking to include LANs, WANs, and IP switching and routing Ability to configure and operate Cisco routers and switches and to enable VLANs and DHCP
Basic internetworking skills taught in Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND), or equivalent knowledge Knowledge of traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) operations and technologies Applicable Products This class provides hands on labs for Cisco Call Manager Express and Cisco IOS Gateways and Gatekeepers using Cisco model 2811 Integrated Service Routers and Cisco 7960/7962 IP telephones.
