Hands-On Lab Workshop: Cisco Passive Optical Networks (PON)

Event Overview

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Cisco Passive Optical Networks (PON) learning path and lab. Cisco's Routed Passive Optical Network (PON) solution differs from traditional PON solutions by having the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) exist as a pluggable transceiver in a router rather than a dedicated device. This learning path will cover the basics of how Cisco's Routed PON solution works and how to operate it.

What to expect

A one-hour virtual workshop focusing on Cisco Passive Optical Networks (PON). We kindly ask that you have your laptop ready to engage in the hands-on lab activities.
  • Introductory Experience: Gain a high-level understanding of how Cisco Passive Optical Networks (PON) works and its benefits through a guided walkthrough.
  • Genesis of the lab.
  • Challenges and opportunities encountered during the design of the lab.
  • Hands-on Lab: Perform real-time queries of Cisco Passive Optical Networks (PON).
  • Interactive Q&A: Engage with the host and other participants through live Q&A sessions.
  • Practical Applications: Discover how Cisco Passive Optical Networks (PON) can significantly benefit your organization.

Goals and Objectives

The Virtual Lab Workshop aims to help you develop proficiency in deploying Cisco's Routed Passive Optical Network (PON) solution. This solution differentiates itself by integrating the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) as a pluggable transceiver in a router rather than a dedicated device. The lab guide is divided into standalone modules for flexible learning: Initial Configuration, Policy Creation, Policy Optimizer, Profile Creation, Wildfire, User-ID Integration and Cortex XSOAR TIM Integration. You will learn the basics of Cisco's Routed PON solution, operation methods and effective management using the Routed PON Manager. Through hands-on activities, interactive Q&A sessions, and practical applications, participants will discover: - How Cisco's Routed PON can benefit their organizations - The genesis, challenges, and opportunities encountered in designing the workshop and ensuring a comprehensive understanding of Cisco PON
