  GWGK Course Description  

Implementing Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers (GWGK) v1.0 is a five-day instructor-led course that aims to provide the necessary background to support personnel who deploy gateways and gatekeepers. Specifically, this course provides network administrators and network engineers with the knowledge and skills to integrate gateways and gatekeepers into an enterprise and service provider Voice over IP (VoIP) network. The course is one of several in the Cisco CCVP™ track that addresses design, planning, and deployment practices, and provides comprehensive hands on experience in configuration and deployment.

Who should attend this course?

  • Cisco CUSTOMERS who implement, install, and maintain IP Telephony networks
  • Cisco CHANNEL PARTNERS who sell, implement, and install IP Telephony products and solutions
  • Cisco SYSTEMS ENGINEERS who support the sales of Cisco IP Telephony products and solutions

Prerequisites

  • Cisco IP Telephony (CIPT)
  • Cisco Voice over IP (CVOICE)
  • Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QOS) 

Number of Days:

5- Days instructor-led classroom training. (Approx. 7 hours each day.)
