Cisco IP Telephony Design (IPTD) — A 4-Day Course

 Open Public Course Closed In-House Course

Synopsis

The IPTD course prepares planners and designers to design contemporary Cisco IP Communications Solutions that conform to the recommendations and outcomes outlined in the Cisco IP Telephony Solutions Reference Design Guide (SRND).

The Cisco IP Telephony Design course addresses the breadth of technical issues surrounding the design of Voice over Data networks and explains a methodology that brings order to approaching the problems faced by planners and designers. It teaches the assessment of the current network, Cisco methodology for implementing Voice over Data networks, and how to design sustainable and appropriate implementations.

The course culminates in an intensive lab exercise to apply the concepts, recommendations and calculations to design an Enterprise IP telephony solution that can be implemented and maintained cost-effectively.

Course Objectives

After completing this course the student will be able to:

• Draft an infrastructure asessment that contains all the technical information required to begin the design phase in accordance with the IP Telephony Solutions Reference Network Design Guide (SRND)
• Design an IP Telephony solution, with expert and peer guidance
• Design a large campus LAN to support an IP telephony solution
• Design the WAN for IP Telephony - Design a fast, secure, highly available WAN link with the quality of service needed to support IP Telephony solutions
• Design IP Telephony - Design an IP telephony solution
• Select IP telephony gateways that are appropriately sized for customer load conditions and appropriately scalable for their growth projections
