Description

The Cisco Optical Technology Intermediate (COTI) Release 10.1 is a 3-day instructor-led course that introduces the learners to the skills that are necessary to deploy a Cisco Optical Networking System (ONS) 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) network from installation to protection.
The main task that learners learn during this course is how to perform node turn-up. The course covers three shelf types: the M12, M6, and M2.
Learners also learn to deploy linear and ring dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) topologies. The course covers multiplexer- demultiplexer cards, Erbium-doped fiber amplifier cards, Raman amplifiers, transponder cards, and the newest Cisco Any Rate muxponder and crossponder cards. These cards are used in terminal, amplifier, and reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) node configurations.
Learners configure wavelength selective switch (WSS) linear and single-module ROADM (SMR) rings. This course covers 10-gigabit unprotected circuits and 10-gigabit protection using Y-cable, optical channel transport unit-2 (OTU-2), and protection switch module (PSM) cards.

Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:
  • Connect to a Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP chassis using Cisco Transport Controller
