-       Understand what
SONET is and the different OC levels.

o       Synchronous Optical Networking. T1 (DS1) = 1.55Mbps. OC3 = 155.52Mbps or 28 DS1s.  OC-12 = 622Mbps or 3 OC3s.  OC48 = 2488.32Mbps(2.5G) or 4 OC12s.  OC192 = 9953.28Mbps (10G).

-       Understand how
BLSR/UPSR SONET ring protection and G.8032 Ethernet Protection schemes work.

o       BLSR = Bidirectional Line-Switched Ring.  Every link can carry both the working and backup traffic at the same time and hence does not require backup links.  We use two-fiber BLSRs (OC48) in the Midwest.  In a two-fiber BLSR, the protection fibers are contained within the working fibers and both the fibers are used to carry working traffic while reserving half the capacity on each fiber for protection purposes.

o       UPSR = Unidirectional Path-Switched Ring.  Two redundant copies of protected traffic are sent in either direction around a ring.

o       G.8032 = In Ethernet Ring Protection Switching,  there is a central node called the RPL Owner Node, which blocks one of the ports to ensure that there is no loop formed for the Ethernet traffic. The link blocked by the RPL owner node is called the Ring Protection Link or RPL. The node at the other end of the RPL is known as RPL Neighbor Node. It uses R-APS control messages to coordinate the activities of switching on/off the RPL link (we call this the
R-APS VID VLAN).  Any failure along the ring triggers a R-APS(SF) (R-APS signal fail) message along both directions from the nodes adjacent to the failed link after these nodes have blocked the port facing the failed link. After receiving this message, RPL owner unblocks the RPL port. During the recovery phase when the failed link gets restored the nodes adjacent to the restored link send R-APS(NR) (R-APS no request) messages. After receiving this message, the RPL owner block the RPL port and then sends a R-APS(NR,RB) (R-APS no request, RPL blocked) message. This will cause all other nodes other than RPL owner in the ring to unblock all the blocked ports.  We use this for Ciena Packet Rings.

-       Understand the different types of fiber optics, connector types, and pluggables.

o       TYPES: Singlemode (9 micron), Multimode (OM1 62.5 micron, OM3 50 micron).

o       CONNECTORS: ST, SC, LC

o       PLUGGABLE SFP/XFPs: short range 850mn MM, 1310nm 10km SM, 1550nm 40km SM, and 1550nm 80km SM.  SFP = Small Form-Factor Pluggable (typically 1G interface but can do SONET), dual fiber.  SFP+ = Same size as SFP but can do 10G interface, dual fiber.  XFP = Larger than SFP, 10G interface only, dual fiber.

-       Understand the basics of Ethernet switching and routing.

o       Understand the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model layers (application, presentation, session, transport, network, data-link, and physical).

o       Understand Ethernet frame structure (Preamble, Start of Frame Delimiter, Destination MAC address, Source MAC address, Length/Type, Data, and FCS)

-       Understand different types of SONET and Ethernet connections.

o       568B

o       T1 pinout in an RJ45 connector (1 RX+, 2 RX-, 4 TX+, 5 TX-).

o       Ethernet pinout in an RJ45 connector (1,2,3,6)
