In this 5-day course, you will learn how to implement an enterprise Data Center routing and switching infrastructure with the next-generation Cisco Nexus 5000 and Cisco Nexus 7000 platforms. This course provides a technical overview of the Cisco Nexus platform architecture, design guidelines, deployment and operations, including Fibre Channel over Ethernet, Virtual Device Contexts, Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, QoS, and Security.
We have enhanced this course with new content on Nexus hardware and software, including significantly more hands-on time, while keeping the course to 5 days. New features not found in the standard DCNI-2 course include Virtual PortChannels, FabricPath (L2MP), Overlay Transport Virtualization, several new hardware platforms such as the Nexus 2248T, and enhanced troubleshooting information.
