Unified Communications Lab Topology

Realistic. Consistent. Hands-On.

Realistic

Consistent

Weve made substantial investments in our

Cisco Unified Communications (UC) lab
architecture to provide you with the industrys best classroom experience. Our flexible
architecture extends across our entire Cisco
UC training line. No matter which of our
courses you take, youll experience training
thats realistic, consistent, and hands-on.

Our UC labs are realistic, because theyre based upon

an actual PSTN. During class, youll build and test a real
dial plan, including 911, 3-digit, 7-digit, 10-digit, 11-digit,
and international route patterns. Just like in a real network, our simulations feature a different area code for
each pod. Further, the same simulated PSTN is accessible
through both PRI and FXO ports and through all four
clusters, providing true-life failover scenarios for bandwidth and connectivity problems.

By standardizing the platform and tools, weve created

a lab environment thats consistent. Across our more
than 30 Cisco UC courses, the IP topology, dial plan, test
profiles, and naming conventions are the same. This
means each time you take one of our UC courses, youll
feel more comfortable and be better able to leverage
what youve learned from past courses.

In our Cisco UC labs, youll work on the latest hardware

and software technologies:

7965 IP phones
3560 switches
Custom PCs with dual core and 4 GB RAM
ISR 2811 routers with:
- PVDM2-32 cards
- Two FXS ports
- Two FXO ports
- Two T1 ports (PRI and T1-CAS)
- Serial ports for WAN connectivity
CallManager 4.1, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager (CUCM) 5.0, CUCM 6.1.1, CUCM 7.0
Presence, Cisco Emergency Responder, CRS, CVP,
ICM, and IPCCE
Operating system optimized for VMware

Hands-On
Our UC courses are designed to maximize the time you
spend in hands-on labs. Weve minimized the amount of
cabling required at the beginning of class and preloaded the tools and online documentation youll need.
Preexisting scripts help you extract and deploy the necessary virtual machines. By reducing the time spent setting everything up, you can spend more time mastering
the Cisco UC products in the hands-on labs.
