Overview The Avaya ERS 8600/8300/1600 Advanced Configuration and Maintenance (6722) course provides an in depth look at the ERS 8600/8300/1600 products focusing on the advanced features, maintenance and troubleshooting. You will gain hands-on experience in building and troubleshooting a Resilient Switch Cluster with ERS 8600s and ERS 8300s observing the traffic flow and predicable failure recovery. You will implement security features including RADIUS, SNMPv3 and SSH. You will also configure QOS and IP filters on the ERS 8600 R-modules and ERS 8300s. Throughout the course, you will perform configuration analysis and troubleshoot Layers 1, 2, 3, and 4 utilizing the ERS 8600s maintenance capabilities including PCAP, Ping-Snoop, SMP, IP Filters and log files. An IP Multicast network is implemented using PIM-SSM. Discussions for the most advanced features of the ERS 8600 are included: ERS 8600 R modules, 10 Gig Ethernet, advanced QoS, and IPv6 implementation.
