Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT) Course

Course Code: TO 100
Course Abstract:

The Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (642-845 ONT) is a qualifying exam for the Cisco Certified Network Professional CCNP®. The ONT 642-845 exam will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills in optimizing and providing effective QOS techniques for converged networks. The exam topics include implementing a VOIP network, implementing QoS on converged networks, specific IP QoS mechanisms for implementing the DiffServ QoS model, AutoQoS, wireless security and basic wireless management.

The 642-845 exam is one of four core exams required for the Cisco CNP certification.

Audience: This course is primarily targeted at IT professionals who have a large amount of experience with network design and implementation.
Duration: 5 days
