Automation of Optical Networks within the Nokia Ecosystem
Course number: OP00124
Format: eLearning
Course duration: 4 hours
Price: €400
Course overview
This eLearning provides students with an overview of Optical Network Automation including the main building blocks needed to support a variety of automation use cases. Students will learn how these use cases can be deployed through a set of standard enablers, such as standard interfaces, protocols, and models to represent and encode available data. The course includes some videos that illustrate how to leverage these enablers with the applications such as WaveSuite Network Operations Center (NOC) and the Resource Controller (RC), and directly with the 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS).
Familiarity with the following ONC courses:
- Nokia Optical Networking Fundamentals (course number ER00835)
- Nokia Optical Network Management with Wavesuite NOC (course number ER00836)
Alternatively, familiarity with the following topics:
- Optical transmission concepts (e.g., optical fiber types, WDM functional blocks), equipment and protection schemes
- Typical basic procedures related to WaveSuite NOC (formerly NFM-T) operation and administration (e.g., nodes supervision, PM retrieval, infrastructure, and services creation/management)
