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.
Recommended prerequisites
- Knowledge of optical transmission concepts and standard equipment
- Familiarity with standard optical node architectures, such as FOADM, ROADM
- Familiarity with NFM-T menus and basic concepts such as trail/services
- Basic knowledge of GMPLS
- Working knowledge of standard optical network management tasks
These prerequisites can be achieved by attending the following ONC courses:
Get access to the same course materials you would receive in class. Course materials are a great way to learn and prepare for exams at your own pace.
