ALCATEL-LUCENT SERVICE ROUTING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

Alcatel-Lucent Network Routing Specialist

As the starting point in the Alcatel-Lucent Service Routing Certification (SRC) Program, the Alcatel-Lucent Network Routing Specialist I (NRS I) certification establishes a strong foundation for the Professional and Architect tracks in the program. The Alcatel-Lucent Network Routing Specialist I certification is designed to give students basic knowledge of IP and Ethernet technologies. Upon successful completion, students will be familiar with the fundamentals of TCP/IP, routing, routing protocols, IP addressing and carrier Ethernet services, and will be well on the way to furthering their skills in triple play consumer services and enterprise-managed communication services.

MARKET NEED

CERTIFICATION OBJECTIVES

Entire markets are transforming rapidly with the convergence of voice and video over packet-based networks. IP has established itself as the protocol of choice to enable convergence of video, voice and data services to meet the requirements of both consumers and enterprises. Carrier Ethernet is quickly transforming the service delivery architecture for virtual private networks (VPNs) and triple play service aggregation. The delivery landscape is changing for both consumer and enterprise services alike. Service providers need to accommodate and support the new demands for content-rich applications and bandwidthintensive services based on IP and carrier Ethernet. Service providers are looking to evolve their network support staffs aptitude in IP and carrier Ethernet to deliver profitable consumer and enterprise services.

Serve as the starting point in the Alcatel-Lucent SRC Program for students with limited knowledge of IP and Ethernet technology. Provide an understanding of the transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) suite. Identify the key functions of the Ethernet protocol. Identify the key functions of an IP network and IP addressing scheme. Provide an overview of Alcatel-Lucents Managed Communications solution and Triple Play Service Delivery Architecture and related key concepts. Provide an overview of Layer 2 and Layer 3 business VPNs such as virtual private LAN service (VPLS), virtual leased line (VLL), and IP-VPNs (RFC 4364, formerly RFC 2547bis).

Alcatel-Lucent NRS I

Provide an understanding of IP technologies and routing protocols such as open shortest path first (OSPF), intermediate system-to-intermediate system (IS-IS), routing information protocol (RIP), border gateway protocol (BGP), VPLS, hierarchical VPLS (H-VPLS) and virtual private routed networks (VPRNs). Provide an overview of Alcatel-Lucents Service Router and Ethernet Service Switch products. Provide an enhanced career path with industry-leading certification that is recognized worldwide.
BENEFITS

Based on their experience and expertise, students may choose which courses to follow. Courses have suggested prerequisites. However, a certification can be awarded only to those who pass the written and lab exams required for their chosen certification. All exams identified per certification are mandatory, although the exams do not have prerequisites. The NRS I certification is valid for three years. You will be required to rewrite the Alcatel-Lucent Scalable IP Networks exam (4A0-100), in order to maintain a valid certification. For more information on the Alcatel-Lucent SRC Program, contact your local Alcatel-Lucent account representative.

Students receive a solid grounding in IP routing protocols and carrier Ethernet for deployment in consumer triple play services and business VPNs. Career paths are enhanced with industry-leading certification. Students gain the skills and credibility to work in everevolving network environments. Building on the Alcatel-Lucent Network Routing Specialist I certification, network professionals can enhance their networking knowledge by obtaining the Alcatel-Lucent Network Routing Specialist II, the Alcatel-Lucent Triple Play Routing Professional and Alcatel-Lucent Service Routing Architect certifications.
