Course Details
Overview
This course provides detailed instruction on how to configure and monitor the Cisco® ASR 5000 to function as a tunnel termination gateway (TTG) in a 3G Wi-Fi offload network environment. The TTG provides interworking between a wireless LAN (WLAN) and a 3G mobile packet core (MPC).
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you should have a thorough understanding of the following aspects of the platform:
- Performing basic service configuration and monitoring of the eWAG
- Monitoring the system for proper subscriber session establishment
