GWGK

Implementing Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers

Course Overview:

GWGK is an ILT advanced course on implementing Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers in Enterprise or Service Provider environments. Passing the associated GWGK Exam is a requirement for the Cisco Certified Voice Over IP Professional (CCVP) Certfication. The goal of the course is to provide students with information and practice activities to prepare them to install, configure, monitor and troubleshoot Cisco voice gateways and gatekeepers in Enterprise installations, in accord with the recommendations of Cisco's Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) for IP Telephony guides. Given a voice over IP design, the implementer will select an appropriate deployment model, correctly configure the Gateways and Gatekeepers (whether distributed or centralized), implement Call Plans, and decide how to implement the most commonly offered Service Provider or managed services applications, features, or implementation requirements.
