Description

This five-day class provides you with the information required to optimally deploy a network of Cisco® 7600 Series Routers. You will learn the key points of the system architecture and features so you can exploit the correct features for your network. Hands-on lab sessions enable you to practice the skills needed to deploy a Cisco 7600 Series Router. You will learn to apply quality of service (QoS) techniques, deploy Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs, and utilize Stateful Switchover (SSO) and Nonstop Forwarding (NSF). You will also explore Cisco 7600 Series packet forwarding techniques, the supported Cisco Supervisor Engines, line cards, and shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface processors (SIPs) to help improve the system’s performance. Also, gain the knowledge and skills to exploit the high availability features of the 7600 Series to ensure your network benefits the most.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to perform the following tasks:

• Describe the power management features of the Cisco 7600 Series Router
• Configure the high availability features of the Cisco 7600: SSO and NSF
• Characterize the Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 32 architecture including forwarding engine and switch fabric
• Describe the packet flow in the Cisco 7600 for Unicast and Multicast
• Deploy software resiliency features
• Implement QoS features on Cisco Catalyst® LAN ports, OSM WAN ports, FlexWAN ports, and SIP/SPA ports
• Deploy MPLS VPN on the Cisco 7600 Series Describe MPLS QoS differentiated service modes in the Cisco 7600 Series
• Describe packet flow and packet recirculation
• Characterize the line card architecture of the Cisco 7600 Series
• Identified different switching modes within the Cisco 7600 Series
• Learn about the available to protect the Supervisor Engine 720 from denial-of-service attack
