In this intense four-day course you learn the skills necessary to deploy a multiservice transport platform (MSTP) network, including fiber-cleaning techniques, fiber test requirements, and node turn-up. You will learn to deploy different dense wavelengthdivision multiplexing (DWDM) topologies using Cisco® Transport Planner to provision the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP). The MSTP Basic course isdesigned to give you significant classroom hands-on time to validate the lessons learned in lecture using the comprehensive classroom hardware and labs. The course outline is as follows:
