Training Course Summary:

The Cisco ONS 15600 is a modular platform used as an aggregation node at the edge of inner core networks. The Cisco ONS 15600 Installation, Turn Up, Test, Provisioning, and Operation Training course provides instructor-led training that enables the student to learn how to install, turn-up, test, provision and operate the ONS 15600 through classroom instruction and hands-on training on a two-node ONS 15600 system. Working in small groups of up to six people per node, students complete a wide range of tasks covering many system features and functions. The course is available in two versions. The installation portion is available as a one-day course. The turn up, test, provisioning, and operation portion is available as a three-day course.
