SmartEdge (SE) BRAS Configuration and Monitoring

General

This course covers technology background of OSPF protocol, PPP protocol as well as multiple configuration tasks. It describes: the role of OSPF in IP networks, protocol operations, link state database content. It also covers technology background and configuration of DHCP & CLIPS sessions on the SmartEdge system. It describes static and dynamic bindings in the multiple-context environment, debugging process for DHCP environment. It describes the negotiation of PPP sessions between client and server, dynamic bindings in the multiple-context environment, debugging and verification process for PPPoX and much more. Hands-on exercises allow participants to master SmartEdge CLI syntax of OSPF, DHCP/CLIPS and PTA related commands.
