NSP Multi-Layer
Optimization

Course number: OS00110-W-2000
Course duration: 2 hours 
Price: €200

Course overview

This eLearning explores how the NSP Network Resource Controller – Cross Domain (NRC-X) interfaces with domain controllers to improve resiliency and service quality through multi-layer network resource control. Learn the many functionalities of the NSP Cross Domain Coordinator (CDC) application, such as multi-layer topology discovery, visualizations and optimizations and how to apply them in practical use cases. Discover how the NSP’s Network Supervision and Fault Management applications provide network-wide monitoring and assurance through tools such as multi-layer visualizations and “one-click” IP/Optical alarm correlations. Also, learn to support network planning and troubleshooting by leveraging the NSP IP/MPLS simulator to perform multi-layer “what-if-analysis.” This course is based on NSP version 20.6.
