Description

The Implementing Cisco NX-OS Switches and Fabrics in the Data Center training gives you a detailed understanding of the Cisco Nexus switch platform and teaches you how to install, configure, and manage Cisco Nexus switch platforms in a scalable, highly available environment. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on labs, you will learn how to describe various aspects of the Cisco Nexus product families and platforms, including implementation, management, security, programmability and storage. Additionally, you will learn how to configure device aliases and zoning, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and N-Port Identifier Virtualization (NPIV), and N-Port Virtualization (NPV) mode. 

This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.

This training will help you: 

  • Describe, implement, configure, and manage Cisco Nexus product families and platforms, including redundancy protocols and security features, in a scalable environment 
  • Gain valuable hands-on experience with Cisco Nexus products in a lab setting 
  • Develop expertise with the Cisco Nexus product families and platforms 
  • Earn 40 CE credits towards recertification

Objectives

  • Describe the platforms that make the Cisco Nexus 9000, 7000, 3000, and 2000 product families 
  • Describe Cisco Nexus platform implementations 
  • Explain Cisco Nexus platform management 
  • Describe Port Channels and Virtual Port Channels 
  • Configure First Hop Redundancy protocols 
  • Configure security features of Cisco Nexus devices 
  • Describe the Cisco Nexus devices routing and forwarding 
  • Describe Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) 
  • Describe Quality of Service (QoS) on Cisco Nexus Devices 
  • Explain system management and monitoring processes 
  • Describe Cisco NX-OS programmability 
  • Describe Cisco Nexus storage services 
  • Configure device aliases and zoning 
  • Configure FCoE 
  • Configure NPIV and NPV modes
