Advanced Services - Cisco Service Control Application Solution Deployment Course (SCA-D)

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for engineering or support level personnel designing, deploying, and supporting SCA solutions.

Prerequisites

Familiarity with the SCA solution to include knowledge of overall architecture and experience with the SCA-BB console GUI foe SCE provisioning. The Advanced Services Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband Training (SCA-BB) course Knowledge of IP routing and switching fundamentals as well as Solaris are recommended for the best learning outcome.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

Describe the purpose, network insertion, architecture and interoperability of the SCA solution components Install the SCA solution components of hardware and software, to include SCE, SCA-BB Console, CM, and SM Generate detailed reports on bandwidth usage by subscriber and service type Use the Service Control Editor to provision combinations of bandwidth controls: quota, time-based, and tiered services to support both sebscriber-less and subscriber-aware traffic control scenarios Configure SCA SM and QM to affect subscriber-aware reporting and traffic control scenarios Implement Radius and DHCP integration for dynamic subscriber awareness through Login Event Generation (LEG) interfaces Describe SCA solution design methodology, specific to size, high availability considerations (cascade), and Multi-Gigabit (MGSCP) topologies

Course Content

This course prepares students to install and configure the Cisco Service Control Application Solutions components, including the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE), SCA-BB Console, and Cisco Collection Manager (CM), Traffic Reporter, and Cisco Subscriber Manager (SM). Students use Cisco's Planning, Design, Implementation, Operation and Optimization (PDIOO) process to deploy several SCA solution topologies, including cascade (high availability) and Multi-Gigabit (MGSCP). Based on realistic use-case scenarios, students also use the SCA-BB Console to analyze network traffic with reports and design traffic control polocies for link bandwidth optimization, to control traffic to the subscriber or application level, as well as to enable tiered service offerings.
