Description
This course prepares students to install and
configure the Cisco Service Control Application Solutions components,
including the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE), SCA-BB Console, and
Cisco Collection Manager (CM), Traffic Reporter, and Cisco Subscriber
Manager (SM). Students use Ciscos Planning, Design, Implementation,
Operation and Optimization (PDIOO) process to deploy several SCA
solution topologies, including cascade (high availability) and
Multi-Gigabit (MGSCP). Based on realistic use-case scenarios, students
also use the SCA-BB Console to analyze network traffic with reports and
design traffic control policies for link bandwidth optimization, to
control traffic to the subscriber or application level, as well as to
enable tiered service offerings.
Please note: Students need to provide their own Windows-based laptops and 15-ft-or longer ethernet cables.
Objectives
- Describe the purpose, network insertion, architecture and interoperability of the SCA solution components.
- Install the SCA solution componentsf hardware and software,
to include SCE, SCA-BB Console, Collection Manager, and Subscriber
Manager.
- Generate detailed reports on bandwidth usage by subscriber and service type.
- Use the Service Control Editor to provision combinations of
bandwidth controls: quota, time-based, and tiered services to support
both subscriber-less and subscriber-aware traffic control scenarios.
- Configure SCA Subscriber Manager and Quota Manager to affect subscriber-aware reporting and traffic control scenarios.
- Implement Radius and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) integration for dynamic subscriber awareness through Login Event
Generation (LEG) interfaces.
- Describe and configure an SCA virtual links configuration.
- Describe SCA solution design methodology, specific to sizing,
high availability considerations (cascade), and Multi-Gigabit (MGSCP)
topologies.
Prerequisites
Familiarity with the SCA solution to include
knowledge of overall architecture and experience with the SCA-BB
Console GUI for SCE provisioning. These skills are taught in the 'AS'
Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband Training (SCA-BB)'
course.
Knowledge of IP routing and switching fundamentals as well as Solaris are recommended for the best learning outcome.
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for engineering or support level personnel designing, deploying, and supporting SCA solutions. |
