This intermediate Cisco H.323 and SIP training prepares network administrators to choose between and use H.323 or SIP on your collaboration network, ensuring that your network maintains communication reliably.
This Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) training also incorporates key skills from both the CLACCM and CLCOR courses. If you're interested in expanding your expertise further, exploring those courses will provide deeper insights and broader training on Cisco's core technologies.
Using H.323 and SIP in your collaboration networks is an essential element of running a VoIP or telephony network. H.323 is one of the world's most commonly used multimedia communications systems in packet-switched and IP networks. Meanwhile, SIP is a multimedia communication protocol.
The differences between these two are subtle, but that's what this training teaches you: how to choose between the two protocols and how to enable and optimize them on your Cisco network.
Once you're done with this Cisco H.323 and SIP training, you'll know how to choose between and use H.323 or SIP on your collaboration network, ensuring that your network maintains communication reliably.
For anyone who manages their Cisco training, this Cisco training can be used to onboard new network administrators, curated into individual or team training plans, or as a Cisco reference resource.
Cisco H.323 and SIP: What You Need to Know
For any network administrator looking to improve their proficiency with Cisco best practices and tools, this Cisco course covers topics such as:
- Enabling Call Transfer, Call Forwarding and Call Holding in H.323 and SIP
- Configuring Call Parking/Pickup, Call Waiting and Message Waiting Indication
- Optimizing your collaboration network's behavior with the right protocol
- Enabling the advanced features of H.323 and SIP like multicast signaling and conference calls
Who Should Take Cisco H.323 and SIP Training?
This Cisco H.323 and SIP training is considered administrator-level Cisco training, which means it was designed for network administrators. This networking skills course is designed for network administrators with three to five years of experience with Cisco best practices and tools.
New or aspiring network administrators. For brand new network administrators, this sort of training is crucial: it teaches you just how different two similar-seeming multimedia collaboration protocols are. If you plan to have a career in collaboration engineering, getting specialized training like this Cisco H.323 and SIP course can set you up for excellence.
Experienced network administrators. If you've already been working in collaboration engineering for a few years, unless you're absolutely certain you know when you'd deploy a network with H.323 and when you'd use SIP, you should take this course. This training is all about making those two protocols work for you and keeping your networks running with them.
