In this course, you'll gain an understanding of converged voice and data networks and the challenges faced by the various network technologies. This course provides network administrators and network engineers with the knowledge and skills required to integrate gateways and gatekeepers into an enterprise VoIP network. It is one of several courses in the Cisco Voice certification track that addresses design, planning, and deployment practices and provides comprehensive hands-on experience configuring and deploying VoIP networks. Along with preparing you for CCNA certification, this course prepares you for the CCNA Voice certification.
Prerequisites
- Working knowledge of fundamental terms and concepts of computer networking, including LANs, WANs, and IP switching and routing
- Basic internetworking skills taught in Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices2 (ICND2), or equivalent knowledge
- Ability to configure and operate Cisco routers and switches and to enable VLANs and DHCP
- Knowledge of traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) operations and technologies
What You'll Learn
- VoIP, components of a VoIP network, VoIP protocols, special requirements for VoIP calls, and Codecs
- Configure gateway interconnections to support VoIP and PSTN calls
- Basic signaling protocols used on voice gateways; configure a gateway to support calls using the various signaling protocols
- Define a dial plan, describing the purpose of each dial plan component, and implement a dial plan on a voice gateway
- Gatekeeper functions, protocols, and operation; implement an H.323 gatekeeper to provide dial plan resolution and call admission control
- Implement a Cisco Unified Border Element gateway to connect to an Internet Telephony Service Provider
Who Needs to Attend
- Students completing the CCVP certification track
- Network engineers, architects, and support staff who:
- Maintain and configure voice and data network devices
- Are considering various methodologies to implement Voice over IP (VoIP)
- Require a fundamental understanding of the issues and solutions related to implementation
- Require a fundamental understanding of packet telephony technologies that are common for both enterprise and service provider applications
