Cisco Cable Modem Termination Systems CMTS ICCR & ACCR Bootcamp

RRP: £2650 (plus VAT)

Duration: 5 Days

Course Contents, Benefits and Positioning

The event combines the key features of the Introduction to Cisco Cable Router and Advanced Cisco Cable Router courses and covers DOCSIS standards for 1.x to 2.0 deployments covering hardware and software features necessary to support DOCSIS in a multi standard environment. The bootcamp is instructor led with presentation and lab exercises with example hands-on configurations to support the presentations.

Objectives

The goal is to train technical staff to design and deploy scalable, Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) standards-based, solutions using Cisco’s cable modem termination systems (CMTS) and cable modem (CM) technology.

Target Audience

This course is positioned for both new-hire cable technicians and experienced network administrators responsible for maintaining HFC cable networks and is recommended training for individuals within the Multi Service Operator (MSO) service provider industry.

Prerequisite Knowledge

Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) or equivalent experience having attained their Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam.
