The Cisco NCS2000 Deploying 96-Channel Flex Spectrum (OPT201) course shows you how to plan, configure, and control optical networks using the Cisco® Network Convergence System (NCS) 2000 series Flex Spectrum platform.
The course teaches you how to design Flex Spectrum networks with multi-degree Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) multi-shelf nodes using the Cisco Transport Planner (CTP) software.
You’ll learn how to:
- Install the Cisco NCS 2000 series hardware
- Configure an optical network and circuits using the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) software
- Learn which components and configurations take advantage of and/or are required for the Flex Spectrum 96-channel feature
- Configure optical networks with multidegree ROADM multishelf nodes
- Configure optical networks with colorless, contentionless, omnidirectional, and MPO cross-connect advanced features
- Describe and configure the NCS 2000 400-Gbps Xponder line card
-
Course Contents
-
- DWDM and Flex Spectrum Foundation
- NCS 2000 Chassis and Cards
- Design ROADM Networks with CTP
- Hardware Installation and Multishelf
- Node Turn-Up and Circuit Creation
- Advanced Feature Networks and Circuits
- Testing, Maintenance, and Basic Troubleshooting
- Spectrum Switched Optical Network
You will receive the original course documentation from Cisco in English language as a Cisco E-Book.

Target Group
-
This course is designed for technical professionals who need to know how to deploy a Cisco NCS 2000 Series DWDM network with FlexSpectrum. The primary audience for this course includes:
- Designers
- System engineers and implementation staff
- Network operations center personnel
- Technical support personnel who are involved with the deployment, operations, and maintenance of the Cisco NCS 2000 Series
- Channel partners and resellers
-
Knowledge Prerequisites
-
Before taking this training, it is recommended to take the Cisco Optical Technology Foundations (OPTFND) training first. However, if you have some knowledge of optical fiber networking, single and multimode fibers, and small form-factor pluggables (SFPs), you should already have the necessary skills to complete this training.
