Master Quality of Service (QoS) Concepts with Practical Real-World Labs and Demonstrations
What you will learn
What QoS is and why it’s important in enterprise networks
Key QoS concepts like classification, marking, queuing, policing, and shaping
Step-by-step configuration of QoS using commands on both switches and routers
Traffic classification using access control lists (ACLs) and class maps
Marking and prioritizing traffic using DSCP and CoS values
Implementing traffic queuing strategies such as Low Latency Queuing (LLQ), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), and Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ)
Understanding how to manage and monitor different queues to ensure efficient traffic handling
Configuring traffic policing to enforce rate limits and traffic shaping to smooth traffic bursts
Real-world examples of configuring policing and shaping on interfaces to control bandwidth usage
Implementing advanced QoS techniques like Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) to dynamically classify and prioritize applications
Using AutoQoS to automate QoS configurations on switches and routers
Troubleshooting and monitoring QoS implementations to ensure optimal performance
Why take this course?
Unlock the full potential of Cisco Labs in this hands-on course, Hands-On Cisco Labs: Quality of Service (QoS) Fundamentals. Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate network professional, this course is designed to immerse you in practical, real-world configurations using a variety of lab technologies.
