Overview
This course demonstrates that you have advanced knowledge and skills to integrate into underlying network architectures. You'll learn how to implement, operate, configure, and troubleshoot a converged IP network. You'll also sit all of the exams required to gain the CCNP Voice certification. The course focuses on Unified Communications Manager version 8.0 and will cover aspects of convergence using routers and switches.
Once you've completed the course, you'll be able to create a collaboration solution that is transparent, scalable, and manageable. You'll also be able to:
- Understand the concept of gateways and gatekeepers
- Implement IP phones using Communications Manager Express
- Configure Unified Communications Manager
- Implement single and multisite deployment
- Troubleshoot Unified Communications manager
- Implement voice-mail using Cisco Unity
- Understand Unified Presence
- Understand utilities on Cisco routers and Cisco Catalyst switches
CCNP Voice was originally called the CCVP (Cisco Certified Voice Professional) certification.
Benefits
With a CCNP Voice certification, a network professional can create a collaboration solution that is transparent, scalable, and manageable.
