Prerequisites

Why Global Knowledge?

The Global Knowledge CICD lab environment offers a unique, real-world environment for learning how to configure and administer IP telephony, IM, Presence, and voicemail. The CICD class focuses on implementation and administration, offering you a preconfigured environment that has:

  • All necessary services installed and the system setup preconfigured
  • A complete dial plan that uses a SIP trunk to access a simulated PSTN
  • Unity Connection servers that provide voice mail capabilities
  • IM and Presence Servers that provide Cisco Presence capabilities
  • A Microsoft Domain Controller providing DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, and LDAP

The lab environment features a partially configured cluster with HQ, Branch A, and PSTN phones. Our Collaboration courses provide a simulated PSTN, enabling you to gain an understanding of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and the concepts associated with a variable-length on-net dial plan supporting multiple sites with overlapping extensions.

  • Deploy Cisco Unified Communications Manager 10.5
  • Deploy Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express 9.1
  • Deploy Cisco Unity Connection 10.5
  • Work with the Disaster Recovery Service
  • Work with Cisco Real Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT)
  • Work with various IP phones and Cisco IP Communicator per student pod
    • Two internal 9951 phones and IP Communicator
    • One test phone allowing students to test outcalling to the PSTN and incoming calling from the PSTN
  • Work with a real dial plan including:
    • 911
    • 3-digit service codes: 411, 511, etc.
    • 7-digit local numbers: 555-1901
    • 10-digit local numbers: 416-777-1901
    • 11-digit long distance numbers: 1-733-802-1901
    • International numbers: 011441902

Our next-generation Cisco Collaboration platform combines the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) with a VMware DRS cluster, distributing the load for individual classrooms across 16 UCS B-Series blades provisioned with 1.6 TB of RAM. Taking advantage of the improved performance of the UCS environment, we can deploy additional capabilities while improving classroom performance. Our new UC on UCS lab environment provides enhanced and exclusive labs that you won't find with any other training provider.
