Cisco test 642-831, Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting, is being retired 12/31/2006.
The new test is 642-845, Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks.
Topics:
Describe Cisco VoIP implementations.
Describe the functions and operations of a VoIP network (e.g., packetization, bandwidth considerations, CAC, etc.).
Describe and identify basic voice components in an enterprise network (e.g. Gatekeepers, Gateways, etc.)
Describe QoS considerations.
Explain the necessity of QoS in converged networks (e.g., bandwidth, delay, loss, etc.).
Describe strategies for QoS implementations (e.g. QoS Policy, QoS Models, etc.).
Describe DiffServ QoS implementations.
Describe classification and marking (e.g., CoS, ToS, IP Precedence, DSCP, etc.).
Describe and configure NBAR for classification.
Explain congestion management and avoidance mechanisms (e.g., FIFO, PQ, WRR, WRED, etc.).
Describe traffic policing and traffic shaping (i.e., traffic conditioners).
Describe Control Plane Policing.
Describe WAN link efficiency mechanisms (e.g., Payload/Header Compression, MLP with interleaving, etc.).
Describe and configure QoS Pre-Classify.
Implement AutoQoS.
Explain the functions and operations of AutoQoS.
Describe the SDM QoS Wizard.
Configure, verify, and torubleshoot AutoQoS implementations (i.e., MQC).
Implement WLAN security and management.
Describe and Configure wireless security on Cisco Clients and APs (e.g., SSID, WEP, LEAP, etc.).
Describe basic wireless management (e.g., WLSE and WCS). Configure and verify basic WCS configuration (i.e., login, add/review controller/AP status, security, and import/review maps).
Describe and configure WLAN QoS.
