Hands-On Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Turn Up, Test, Provisioning, and Operations

Course Description

The Cisco ONS 15454 SDH is a fast and powerful, yet easy to use optical platform that lowers the cost and increases the efficiency of bandwidth delivery within optical transport networks.

The Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Provisioning and Operation Training (OSTPO) provides instructor-led training that enables the student to learn how to operate the ONS 15454 SDH through classroom instruction and hands-on training on an ONS 15454 SDH system.

The students complete a wide range of tasks covering many system features and functions. Lab exercises rely on the ONS 15454 SDH user documentation for references to specific procedures. Each student has the opportunity to participate in every lab.
