维护思科电信运营商服务质量考试要点

保持思科电信运营商服务质量(MSPQS)是与CCNP SP运营认证相关的考试。它主要检验考生在运用QoS机制支持电信运营商网络环境方面的知识，包括如何采用Cisco IOS和IOS XR操作系统对这些环境进行监控、部署和故障排除。此外，它还可评估考生在基于从SP IP NGN 环境中收集到的QoS 统计数据管理性能和容量方面的能力。考生可以通过学习“MSPQS保持思科电信运营商服务质量”课程来准备该考试。

　　Exam Description

The 642-785 Maintaining Cisco Service Provider Quality of Service (MSPQS) exam is the exam associated with the CCNP SP Operations certification. This exam tests a candidate's knowledge of QoS mechanisms to support Service Provider networking environments, including how they are monitored, implemented, and troubleshot using both Cisco IOS and IOS XR operating systems. Furthermore, it assesses a candidate's ability to manage performance and capacity based on QoS statistics gathered from a SP IP NGN environment. Candidates can prepare for this exam by taking the MSPQS Maintaining Cisco Service Provider Quality of Service course.
