Understanding and Configuring MEF Certified Services on the Cisco ASR 9000 (UCMCS9K)
Course Overview
The Cisco® Understanding and Configuring MEF Certified Services on the Cisco ASR 9000 Version 1 instructor-led course offered by High-Touch Delivery Learning Services provides you with the information to successfully design, configure, and deploy the industry-standard Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) technologies in a Cisco IOS® XR Software environment. This course covers over 200 MEF Carrier Ethernet Certification Professional (CECP) knowledge objectives, combined with exclusive access to deploy and implement MEF solutions such as Ethernet-Line (E-Line) and Ethernet-LAN (E-LAN) on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers platform for Cisco IOS XR Software. Through a combination of lecture and hands-on labs, you gain an understanding of all major aspects of the platform; Layer 2 MEF services; Layer 2 MEF operations, administration, and management (OAM); and quality of service (QoS) features. No other course combines the MEF CECP knowledge with hands-on labs to reinforce your learning.

- Configure the Cisco ASR 9000 for various Carrier Ethernet services
- Define six Ethernet services (E-Line, E-LAN, Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree) and give usage examples to meet various subscriber needs; explain User Network Interface (UNI) attributes common to all services
- Define UNI service attributes (for example, frame format, ingress/egress bandwidth profiles, Carrier Ethernet VLAN ID/EVC (Ethernet Virtual Channel) map); define EVC per UNI service attributes (for example, physical interfaces, frame format, ingress/egress bandwidth profiles)
- Define the technologies and standards associated with UNI 1.0 and UNI 2.0
- Describe the scalability and limitations of Ethernet over plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH), Ethernet over bonded copper, Ethernet over Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC), wireless Ethernet, Ethernet over fiber, and Ethernet over Passive Optical Network (PON)
- Describe Carrier Ethernet architecture and positioning for backbone and access technologies; describe how Carrier Ethernet services are transported over these technologies; describe the purpose and need and identify the critical components of Circuit Emulation Services over Ethernet (CESoETH) service; describe EVC service attributes required for emulated circuits, including delivering synchronized clocks over emulated circuits (for example, adaptive, 1588v2, synchronous Ethernet, Network Time Protocol (NTP), Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
- Describe scenarios for common business service applications and the benefits for each, including mobile backhaul (MBH) for cellular services
- Describe the MEF partitioning of responsibilities for service operations, administration, and maintenance (SOAM)
- Configure Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) - Pseudowire
- Configure L2VPN E-Line – Ethernet Private Line (EPL)
- Configure L2VPN E-Line – Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)
- Configure Ethernet over MPLS L2VPN E-Line
