Nokia Advanced Optical Network Management with NFM-T

Course number: TOP00006
Course duration: 5 days
Price: $3,425 US

Course overview

This course is designed for mid to senior-level network operations and management personnel. Participants will learn how to use the Nokia Network Functions Manager for Transport (NFM-T) for efficient and effective management of a Nokia 1830 PSS-based optical network. The course focuses on advanced optical network construction, configuration, and management. Topics include: introduction to NFM-T containers and processes; NRC-T and NSP overview; advanced node configurations (SWDM, cluster and dangling architectures); advanced services creation (based on: OTSiG tunnels, cascading configurations, ODUflex, alien lambdas, and channelized architectures); advanced ASON configurations (OTSiG tunnels in L0 core networks, L1 and mixed plane, overlay and MRN); network maintenance and transformation (traffic rerouting, current-to-nominal route conversion, link maintenance, add/remove service protection); and NFM-T main agents and processes. The course provides extensive hands-on lab exercises to ensure students gain practical skills on the topics presented.
