Nokia IP Networks and Services Fundamentals

This 4-day course (formerly known as the Nokia IP Scalable Networks) is the starting point for the Service Routing Certification program. It is designed for students with limited knowledge of IP and Ethernet technologies. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be familiar with the basics of the TCP/IP layered model, Ethernet, Internet addressing and packet forwarding, routing protocols, MPLS tunneling, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services.
