Cisco WAN Switching

• Describe the overall role, function and operation of the MGX-MG as a system component in each of the solutions applications requiring either VoIP switched or VoAAL2 trunked operations.
• Given an existing network and application scenario, verify that the MGX-MG is equipped with the appropriate hardware and software to fulfill the stated requirement
• Given a set of node-specific parameters, successfully bring up a previously-installed MGX-MG for basic standalone operation, and / or, in the case where the MGX-MG forms part of an ATM, IP, or ATM+IP network, establish and validate network communications.
• Given a set of specific customer requirements, provision appropriate services on VXSM, AXSM, and RPM service modules.
• Once traffic has been established, monitor and verify the proper operation of the configured services.

The High-Density Media Gateway Configuration and Operations course Version 3.0 is a lecture-lab course focusing on the implementation of the MGX 8880 and MGX 8850-PXM45 media gateways (MGX-MG) based on the Voice Switch Service Module (VXSM) in both switched VoIP and VoATM trunking applications. Typically, the HMGCO course is delivered for either VoIP or VoATM applications; it is rarely delivered for both.
