Adding Secured Voice and Data Services for the Business-Ready Branch ISR (BRISR)

Length: 5-day Workshop

The course teaches students how to build a secured VPN network and then extend business-ready services such as IP telephony and content networking over the network to the branch. Extensive practical labs, using the new Cisco® 3800 Series Integrated Services Router with selected network integration modules and software, allow students to practice implementation and troubleshooting of Cisco IOS® Firewall, site-to-site VPNs, dynamic multipoint VPNs (DMVPNs), Cisco® CallManager Express, Cisco Unity® Express, and content caching in an enterprise-to-branch-office environment. Students attending the course will learn how to deploy these technologies on the new Cisco® integrated services router platforms (Cisco® 1800, 2800, and 3800 series integrated services routers) and other Cisco® devices that support similar advanced technologies.

You will learn to:

• Select the proper support platform and network modules to provide specified services
• Establish security protection for the office with the Cisco IOS® Firewall
• Set up a site-to-site IP Security (IPSec) VPN and DMVPN to provide connectivity to all enterprise locations, including headquarters and branches
• Configure Cisco® CallManager Express using the Cisco IOS® Software command-line interface (CLI) and the CallManager Express GUI to provide call-processing functionality
• Configure the IP phones so that they register with Cisco® CallManager Express
• Configure the dial plan and gateways to expand the voice-over-IP (VoIP) network
• Configure the Cisco Unity® Express network module with users and mailboxes using the Cisco Unity® Express CLI and GUI
• Configure all branches to register with Cisco® CallManager and implement Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) at the branch in the event that the branch loses connectivity with the headquarters Cisco® CallManager
• Configure the Cisco® content engine network module

Recommended for:

This course offers a solid overview for the networking engineer who may wish to be a generalist or to specialize in a specific advanced technology: security, IP telephony, or content networking. Specific audiences include:

• Network planners and designers interested in using integrated services routers to extend enterprise services to the branch
• Network engineers who support branch environments or advanced technologies used at remote corporate sites
• Cisco® reseller partners

Prerequisites:

Adding Secured Voice and Data Services for the Business-Ready ISR is a hands-on course that will require students to efficiently configure and verify network functionality. It is expected that the student will possess the following prerequisite skill and knowledge factors:

• CCNA® equivalent experience as taught in the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) course. Skills include the following:
  • From the CLI, configure a Cisco IOS® Software router and switch, to include navigating, interfaces, VLANs, routing, and so forth
  • Configure and enable static and dynamic routing, including Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) on a Cisco IOS7reg; Software router
  • Troubleshoot a Cisco IOS® Software device using the appropriate show and debug commands
  • Configure standard and extended access lists to manage traffic access
• Hands-on field experience in one or more of the following technologies:
  • Configuring Cisco® VPNs and firewalls as taught in Cisco Press® Cisco® Networking Academy® Program Fundamentals of Network Security Companion Guide
  • VoIP protocol knowledge as discussed in Cisco Press® Voice over IP Fundamentals by Jonathan Davidson, James Peters, and Brian Gracely
  • Configuring a Cisco® content engine as a proxy-caching and transparent proxy-caching server
