Implementing the Cisco NCS540 Series Routers

Implementing the Cisco NCS540 Series Routers (NCS540HWE)

Cisco - Security

Implementing the Cisco NCS540 Series Routers training is designed for network professionals to learn how to deploy Cisco NCS 540 Series routers in their network environment. Topics covered include understanding the features and functions of the Cisco NCS 540 Series platforms, system architecture, services implementation, Quality of Service (QoS), and system security, along with the utilization of model-driven telemetry and programmability.
