CISCO 201 NSO Essentials Training Overview
NSO201 Cisco NSO Essentials for Programmers & Network Architects (NSO201) course introduces you to Cisco® Network Services Orchestrator (NSO). Student will learn how to install Cisco NSO & use it to manage devices, create services based on YANG templates with XPath. This course desgin a brief overview of NSO as a network automation solution along with introduction to NETCONF, YANG, & XPath. Student will learn about critical service packages, network element drivers, API s. The NSO course also covers creating on Services, device & configuration management, NSO maintenance, NSO options & integrations, the most critical basic NSO troubleshooting.
Objectives – CISCO 201 NSO Essentials Training
- Explain transactional service activation and how it relates to business requirements
- Explain the benefits and uses of Cisco NSO
- Explain how Cisco NSO communicates with network devices
- Understand the NETCONF protocol and be able to read and write simple YANG models
- Install NSO and describe how NSO uses NETCONF and the Device Manager component
- Understand the difference between devices that are fully NETCONF capable and those that are less or not NETCONF capable
- Explain the YANG service model structure
- Describe how YANG is used with NSO, create and deploy a service, and explain NSO FASTMAP
- Design and manage services with YANG models
- Perform NSO configuration and basic troubleshooting, and describe the following NSO features: integration options, alarms and reporting, scalability and performance options, and available function packs
- Use logs to troubleshoot the Cisco NSO deployment and check NSO communication with network devices
- Explain the mapping logic of service parameters to device models and consequently to device configurations
- Describe the use of different integration options and APIs
- Explain the use of Reactive FASTMAP for manipulating and implementing advanced Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) components
- Describe the use of feature components and function packs
- Define and explain the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Open Source NFV Management and Orchestration (MANO) principles and solution
- Work with the alarm console, and understand the NSO alarm structure and how it conforms to modern network operations procedures
