Implementing Cisco Quality of Service
(QOS) v2.1 provides students with
in-depth knowledge of IP quality of
service (QoS) requirements, conceptual
models such as Best Effort, Integrated
Services (IntServ) and Differentiated
Services (DiffServ), and the
implementation of IP QoS on Cisco IOS
platforms. The curriculum covers the
theory of IP QoS, design issues, and
configuration of various QoS mechanisms
to facilitate the creation of effective
administrative policies providing QoS.
Case studies and lab exercises included in
the course help students to apply the
concepts mastered in individual modules to
real-life scenarios. The course also gives
students design and usage rules for various
advanced IP QoS features and the integration
of IP QoS with underlying Layer 2 QoS
mechanisms. This gives students the
opportunity to design and implement
efficient, optimal, and trouble-free
multiservice networks.
Upon completion of this course, the learner
will be able to identify, describe, and
correctly implement the appropriate QoS
mechanisms that are required to create an
effective administrative policy providing
QoS.
Who should attend this course?

designing multiservice networks to carry
voice, video, and data traffic in an

Prerequisite
Completion of
Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices
(ICND) or Cisco CCNA® certification
Number of Days:
5- Days instructor-led classroom training.
(Approx. 7 hours each day.)
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course, the learner
will be able to meet these overall
objectives:
-
Explain the need to implement QoS and
explain methods for implementing and
managing QoS
-
Identify and describe different models
used for ensuring QoS in a network and
explain key IP QoS mechanisms used to
implement the models
-
Explain the use of MQC and AutoQoS to
implement QoS on the network
-
Classify and mark network traffic to
implement a policy defining QoS
requirements
-
Use
Cisco QoS queuing mechanisms to manage
network congestion
-
Use
Cisco QoS congestion avoidance
mechanisms to reduce the effects of
congestion on the network
-
Use
Cisco QoS traffic policing and traffic
shaping mechanisms to effectively limit
the rate of network traffic
-
Use
Cisco link efficiency mechanisms to
improve the bandwidth efficiency of a
low-speed WAN links
-
Select the most appropriate QoS
mechanisms for providing QoS using Cisco
“best practices” in service provider and
enterprise networks
Course Flow
This is the standard course schedule for a 5
day, instructor-led class. Adjustments may
be made based on the skills, knowledge, and
preferences of the learners in attendance.
