Classroom Virtual Classroom Private Group - Virtual Self-Paced OnlineOverview
A complete 10-day program on SDN, Telco Cloud & Virtualization, technologies, standardization, use-cases augmented with valuable hands-on labs.
Hands-on labs spread throughout the duration are designed to allow the students to experience using the SDN components that were discussed in the theoretical part of the training. The labs are designed to embed learning in a step by step approach starting with a basic environment of OpenFlow based devices with no controller, then introducing simple controllers, mid-range controllers and finally industry level controllers such as ONOS and ODL, while running various scenarios and use cases.
Objectives
- Understand the fundamental building blocks and technology, northbound, southbound, east and west.
- Investigate the standards ecosystem, and how it is relevant to your or your customers' networks, as we explain the work from SDOs such as ONF, IETF, ETSI NFV ISG, MEF, TM Forum.
- Consider Opensource projects such as OSM, OpenDaylight (ODL), OpenStack, ONAP & ONOS.
- Understand why standardization is shaping the future and which are the key alliances you need to build.
- Explore current uses such as SD-WAN, uCPE, vEPC, BGP Routing, virtualized Firewalls.
- Compare and contrast differing vendor solutions from Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, Nokia Networks and more. Who is more Open, who is less Open, why might you choose one approach over another based on your or your customers legacy network and future services you want to deploy.
- Get detailed information on REST, NETCONF and YANG modelling.
- Review in detail the OpenFlow SDN approach.
- Understand hypervisors and the various virtualization approaches in the market such as Virtual Machines vs Containers like Kubernetes.
- Consider how use cases will change on roadmap towards full-blown SDN.
Lab Objectives
- Understand Mininet and Wireshark tools
- Understand POX controller
- Understand RYU controller
- Understand Open Daylight controller
- Understand ONOS controller
- Learn the behavior of OpenFlow switch
- Understand the OpenFlow protocol
- Understand OVSDB library and commands
- Learn how to create custom topologies for Mininet
Target Audience
Strategic planners, network architects, network managers, systems engineers, service planners and carrier operation staff who are responsible for planning, implementing and deploying networks who require SDN, Telco Cloud & Network Virtualization knowledge.
Additional Information
This workshop when combined with our Exam Readiness Session and Practice Exam package prepares students for the MEF SDN/NFV Certified Professional (MEF-SNCP) exam.
Hands On Labs Workshop Environment Preparation:
- Each student executes the labs by connecting to a VM cluster running in a cloud environment.
- The students only need to use a browser. No additional software installation is required.
