Operating Cisco IP Fabric for Media Solution (IPFMSN)
Duration : 3 Days (24 Hours)
Operating Cisco IP Fabric for Media Solution (IPFMSN) Course Overview:
What you’ll learn in this course
The IPFMSN v2.0 course provides broadcast engineers with essential training on Cisco IP Fabric for Media (IPFM). Participants will learn about IPFM deployment, operation, and troubleshooting, enabling them to replace SDI-based deployments with IP technologies effectively. This course equips engineers with the necessary skills to manage and operate Cisco IPFM in the media industry.
The course also covers the Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) Media Controller, a core component of the Cisco IPFM solution. Through lab exercises that focus on building IP fabric as a baseline for a complete IPFM solution, you will learn how to deploy and troubleshoot the DCNM Media Controller to control flows through the
fabric.
How you’ll benefit
This class will help you:
● Learn to use Cisco IPFM to deploy a flexible, scalable, and secure IP-based media infrastructure
● Troubleshoot the DCNM Media Controller to control flows through the fabric
● Practice what you learn through hands-on lab exercises
Who should enroll
This course is designed for broadcast engineers.
It might also be of interest to technical solution architects, network engineers, and network administrators.
