Cisco Quality of Service Training Course Overview

Cisco Quality of Service (QoS) refers to a set of technologies and practices implemented on Cisco network devices to manage network traffic and ensure efficient utilisation of network resources. QoS encompasses various mechanisms to prioritise certain types of network traffic, ensuring critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, even under heavy load.

The benefits of Cisco's Quality of Service are multifaceted, especially in today's data-driven business environment. First, QoS enhances the overall user experience by prioritising business-critical traffic and applications, leading to improved performance and reliability. This is vital in scenarios like video conferencing or VoIP, where delays or disruptions can be detrimental. Secondly, it allows for efficient bandwidth management, reducing costs by optimising existing network infrastructure instead of requiring expensive upgrades.

The Knowledge Academy's 2-day Cisco Quality of Service Training Course offers several benefits for IT professionals. It provides in-depth knowledge of QoS concepts, tools, and best practices, equipping learners with the skills to design, implement, and manage QoS on Cisco networks effectively. This expertise is crucial for maintaining optimal network performance and supporting critical business applications.

Course Objectives

  • To understand and implement Cisco Quality of Service (QoS) technologies and practices on network devices

QoS is vital in networking as it ensures the efficient management of network traffic, prioritising critical data and reducing delays. It helps maintain high performance, minimises packet loss, and ensures reliable service delivery, especially for bandwidth-sensitive applications like VoIP and video conferencing.
Cisco QoS Training covers essential topics such as traffic classification and marking, congestion management, queueing mechanisms, traffic policing and shaping, link efficiency techniques, and QoS deployment strategies. It also explores best practices for ensuring optimal network performance across diverse applications.
Certifications that require QoS knowledge include Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Enterprise, Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Enterprise Infrastructure, and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). These certifications emphasise understanding QoS concepts to ensure effective network performance and traffic management.
Cisco QoS Training typically takes 2 days to complete, depending on the course structure and delivery method. Some courses offer flexible schedules, allowing delegates to complete the training at their own pace through self-paced online learning.
You can implement QoS on Cisco devices by configuring traffic classification and marking, defining policies for traffic prioritisation, and applying these policies using the Modular QoS CLI (MQC). Key steps include configuring access control lists (ACLs), class maps, policy maps, and applying the policies to interfaces using service policies.
Layer 2 QoS operates at the data link layer, using mechanisms like 802.1p to prioritise traffic within a local network. Layer 3 QoS works at the network layer, using Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) to manage traffic prioritisation across larger networks, such as WANs. Layer 3 provides broader, end-to-end QoS, while Layer 2 focuses on local, switch-level traffic control.
QoS is tested and verified by monitoring network traffic, using tools like Cisco's IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLA) and packet capture methods. These tools assess metrics such as latency, jitter, and packet loss, ensuring QoS policies are effectively prioritising and managing traffic as intended.
Yes, QoS can be applied to wireless networks. It prioritises wireless traffic by managing bandwidth allocation, reducing latency, and ensuring reliable performance for critical applications like voice and video. Wireless QoS uses mechanisms such as Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) to control traffic priority and improve the overall user experience.
Key QoS mechanisms in Cisco IOS include classification and marking, congestion management, congestion avoidance, traffic shaping, traffic policing, and link efficiency techniques. These mechanisms ensure effective prioritisation and management of network traffic for optimal performance.
You can find Cisco QoS Training Courses at The Knowledge Academy, where we offer comprehensive training to help delegates master QoS concepts and implementation techniques. Our courses are designed to enhance networking skills and prepare for relevant Cisco certifications.
There are three primary models of QoS: Best Effort, Integrated Services (IntServ), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ). Best Effort offers no guarantees for traffic, IntServ provides end-to-end guarantees with resource reservation, and DiffServ prioritises traffic using classification and marking without reservation.
DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) is a Layer 3 QoS mechanism used to classify and prioritise IP packets across networks, offering broader, end-to-end traffic control. CoS (Class of Service) operates at Layer 2, using 802.1p to prioritise traffic within local Ethernet networks. While DSCP applies to both WAN and LAN environments, CoS is primarily limited to LAN traffic prioritisation.
