Hands-On
Ethernet Transport
 
Course Description
This course teaches the functionality of Ethernet and Ethernet transport, as well as the standards, types of equipment, the provisioning process and various network architectures.

Having in-depth practical knowledge of Ethernet GigE will help broadband professionals better understand the components and implementations of Ethernet technology from 10BaseT through 10GigE as well as the benefits of future enhancements.

This course instructs how to quickly and easily build, deploy, manage and troubleshoot Ethernet networks. It also details network architectures, protocols, frame formats, configuration and provisioning parameters. In addition, participants will discover important operating requirements and troubleshooting techniques and more.
Students Will Learn
Target Audience
Technical operations managers advanced technical support personnel that work in the NOC, headend and field services mid to senior level data technicians and engineering managers
Prerequisites
Basic understanding of Networking technologies.

Delivery Method
Instructor-Led with numerous Hands-On Labs and exercises.
Equipment Requirements
(This apply's to our hands-on courses only)
BTS always provides equipment to have a very successful Hands-On course. BTS also encourages all attendees to bring their own equipment to the course. This will provide attendees the opportunity to incorporate their own gear into the labs and gain valuable training using their specific equipment.
Course Length
