Implementing Cisco Collaboration Conferencing (CLCNF)

In this Implementing Cisco Collaboration Conferencing course it focuses on Cisco® on-premises conferencing architecture and solutions. In this advanced Cisco Meeting Server course provides comprehensive, hands-on training for deploying, scaling, integrating, and troubleshooting Cisco Meeting Server in enterprise collaboration environments. The curriculum begins with single combined deployments and virtual machine installation, then progresses into advanced clustering of databases, call bridges, and web bridges to support scalable, resilient conferencing services. Learners gain practical experience configuring distributed spaces, Active Directory integration, external WebRTC access, secure B2B connectivity, and meeting recording services.

The course also covers deep integration with Cisco Unified Communications Manager using SIP trunks and conference resources, enabling seamless call escalation and conferencing from CUCM-managed endpoints. Operational management topics include log collection, troubleshooting methodologies, and lifecycle management of Cisco TMS, TMSXE, and Cisco Meeting Management. Extensive hands-on labs reinforce each concept, allowing participants to deploy, integrate, manage endpoints, schedule conferences, and operate Cisco Meeting Server environments reliably at scale.
