Cisco NCS 2000 Series Deploying 96-Channel

This course is designed for technical professionals who need to know how to deploy a Cisco NCS 2000 Series DWDM network with FlexSpectrum.

After completing this course, you should be able to:

• Describe the route and select principle
• Successfully run the Cisco Transport provisioning tool and design simple FlexSpectrum networks
• Connect to and set up a FlexSpectrum node using the Cisco Transport Planner tool outputCreate simple DWDM circuits that traverse the FlexSpectrum network and trace the power from beginning to end
• Configure the 10 x 10 card for five individual transponders and appropriate G.709 options
• Understand and install the provisionable patch cord (PPC) association between transponder ports and theDWDM MUX and DMX ports, and install optical channel client connections
• Describe the major features of the Cisco NCS2000 EDFA17/24 and EDRA17/24 amplifiers
• Understand the difference between colored ports, colorless ports, and colorless applications
• Install 40 Gigabit Ethernet transponder circuits on colorless ports and change the wavelength without the need to move fiber jumpers
• Understand the concept of omnidirectional add-drop and the contentionless feature
• Create 100 Gigabit Ethernet circuit into a node on a wavelength that already exists on the omnidirectional add-drop section
• Install the cross-connect options for nodes with up to 12 sides, including colorless and omnidirectional and contentionless add-drop
• Conduct maintenance and performance-monitoring tasks
• Troubleshoot the 96-channel FlexSpectrum system
