This Authorized Cisco 5-day course gives you the knowledge and skills required to design, implement, and troubleshoot Quality of Service (QoS) on a network. The course addresses the essential QoS technologies and applications for both Service Provider and Enterprise networks. Successful implementation of the techniques taught in this course will have a dramatic impact on critical network application performance.
Network professionals interested in deploying state-of-the-art QoS techniques to support multimedia traffic would benefit from this course.

Labs
100% Enhanced Hands-On Labs
Our QoS labs are based on real VoIP and data rather than on simulated traffic. Cisco IP phones are used for voice calls in the classroom.
Lab 1: QoS Lab Setup and Initialization
Initial router and switch configuration; familiarization with the lab environment.
Lab 2: Baseline QoS Measurement
Network performance testing with and without application traffic loads.
Lab 3: Classification and Marking Using MQC
Configure MQC classification using ACLs. Configure and monitor Class-Based Marking.
Lab 4: Classification Using NBAR
Configure NBAR protocol discovery. Configure MQC Classification via NBAR.
Lab 5: LAN-Based Packet Classification and Marking
Configure Catalyst trust boundaries and COS-to-DSCP mapping. Configure MQC classification and marking on Catalyst switch.
Lab 6: Configuring QoS Pre-Classify
Configure QoS pre-classify on a router using a GRE tunnel. Monitor the operation of QoS pre-classification.
Lab 7: Configuring Basic Queuing
Configure FIFO queuing on WAN routers. Configure WFQ queuing on WAN routers. Measure and analyze network performance.
Lab 8: Configuring LLQ
Configure LLQ on a WAN router to provide bandwidth and latency guarantees. Measure and analyze the results.
Lab 9: Queuing on Catalyst Switches
Configure COS-to-queue mapping on the Catalyst 2950 switch. Configure and monitor WRR queuing on the Catalyst 2950.
Lab 10: Configuring DSCP-Based WRED
Configure and monitor DSCP-Based CB-WRED. Add Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN).
Lab 11: Configuring Class-Based Policing
Configure CB-Policing and analyze the results.
Lab 12: Configuring Class-Based Shaping
Configure CB-Shaping and analyze the results.
Lab 13: Configuring Class-Based Header Compression
