Cisco Voice over IP v6.0
This lab bundle lays the foundation for gaining significant hand-on skills and mastering of Cisco packet voice technology. You will configure and monitor basic packet voice functions and all major call control signaling scenarios on Cisco voice gateway technology. These labs involve the available Cisco packet voice configuration and troubleshooting tools to train you on how to use the tools to accomplish your everyday tasks.
The knowledge delivered here is essential to develop proficiency in the packet voice by starting at its basics and gradually building up to the true voice professional level.
