Description
The Cisco NCS 2000 Series Deploying 96-Channel Flex Spectrum (NCS2K-FS) release 10.0 version 1 is a 3-day lab-intensive instructor-led course that introduces the learners to the Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 2000 Series with Cisco Flex Spectrum (NCS2K-FS). The course briefly reviews the fiber cleaning and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) basics, as well as how to design Cisco Flex Spectrum networks using the Cisco Transport Planner tool.
The course covers the Cisco NCS 2002 and NCS 2006 shelves, the Cisco NCS 2000 16-Channel Wavelength Cross-Connect (WXC) card, Cisco NCS 2000 EDFA 17 and 24 amplifiers, and Cisco NCS 2000 EDRA 17 and 24 amplifiers. The learner learns how the Cisco NCS 2000 96-channel WXC card is designed, and sets up a two-node 96-channel system, creates simple DWDM optical circuits between nodes, and then creates 10G transponder circuits using the 10 x 10 multiport cards.
The course explains the difference between colored and colorless ports, whereby the learner installs 40G transponder circuits using the colorless option. In addition, the course explores reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) and mesh configurations up to 16 degrees, including the option for omnidirectional add and drop.
The course also includes methods for performance monitoring and troubleshooting the Cisco Flex Spectrum system.
