NCS540HWE

The Implementing the Cisco NCS 540 Series Routers (NCS540HWE) training teaches you how to deploy Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 540 Series routers in a network environment. You will be introduced to the features and functions of the Cisco NCS 540 series platforms, system architecture, services implementation, quality of service (QoS), system security, model-driven telemetry, and programmability.

• Classify the Cisco NCS 540 platform hardware and understand the variations between large, medium, small, and fronthaul form factors, their features, use cases, and positioning  
• Describe the hardware architecture of the NCS 540 series and the components necessary for packet queuing and forwarding, understand the life of a packet on ingress and egress traffic 
• Explain the system architecture for traffic queuing, scheduling, and forwarding to introduce concepts of Cisco IOS XR modular QoS on the NCS 540 platform   
• Describe the methods and protocols for establishing timing and synchronization on Cisco IOS XR router platforms 
• Describe the Cisco NCS 540 fronthaul router family and its features and how they can be used to make mobile network architecture simpler 
• Describe Cisco IOS XR software architecture, its programmable features, and how to install software packages 
• Explain how to install Cisco IOS XR software packages 
• Recognize, implement, and manage system security features within Cisco IOS XR software systems, ensuring the protection of network infrastructure and data 
• Describe the main factors leading to the development and deployment of segment routing, segment types, segment routing global block (SRGB), and configure and verify intermediate system to intermediate system (IS-IS) and open shortest path first (OSPF) segment routing operation 
• Discuss how topology independent loop-free alternate (TI-LFA) is implemented in Cisco IOS XR software 
• Demonstrate segment routing traffic engineering (SR-TE) and the traffic engineering components used in segment routing 
• Implement and configure advanced SR-TE features and SR IPv6 
• Describe the components and functionality of Layer 3 multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) virtual private networks (VPNs) implementation in Cisco IOS XR software deployments 
• Implement Layer 2 VPN operations in a service provider environment 
• Explain how Ethernet VPN (EVPN) gets around the problems that regular Layer 2 VPNs have, what the model for EVPN delivery is, and how to implement and troubleshoot EVPN solutions 
• Comprehend and implement model-driven telemetry for enhanced network visibility and management 

You will receive the original course documentation from Cisco in English language as a Cisco E-Book.
