Cisco Optical Technology Advanced (OPT300) Training Course

The Cisco Optical Technology Advanced (OPT300) course is a 5-day course that is designed to teach students how to design DWDM networks using the Cisco Transport Planning (CTP) tool. Students will learn how the 40- and 80-channel mesh networks are designed, and they will set up a six-node WXC-based 40- or 80-channel mesh network. Students will also learn how the 40-channel SMR1 and/or SMR2 network is designed and set up a six-node 40-channel network. In the hands-on labs, students will learn to configure: the Cisco Transport Controller, the 10 Gbps (G) data cards, the 1 gigabit/10 gigabit Ethernet enhanced crossponder, any rate muxponder and crossponder, 100G transponders and muxponders, 10G encryption, and T1 over Ethernet. The course also has a review of G.709 encapsulation, G.7041 Generic Framing Protocol (GFP), forward error correction and coherent transmission. Additionally, students will learn how to add a node to the existing six-node ring and troubleshoot the configuration. The course combines lecture materials and hands-on labs throughout to make sure students are able to successfully deploy a Cisco data over DWDM network.
