Description

The Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure - Advanced (DCACIA) v1.2 course teaches you how to deploy and manage the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) mode. You will learn how to configure and manage Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in ACI mode, how to connect the Cisco ACI fabric to external networks and services, and the fundamentals of Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) integration. You will gain hands-on practice implementing key capabilities such as fabric discovery, policies, connectivity, VMM integration, and more. This course earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.

This course helps prepare you for the following exam:

  • 300-630 Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure - Advanced (DCACIA)

    This course will help you:

  • Gain the skills and hands-on practice integrating the enhanced, automated capabilities of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in ACI mode for quicker application deployment
  • Get the knowledge for protocols, solutions and designs to acquire professional-level and expert-level data center job roles
  • Earn 40 CE credits toward recertification

    The 300-630 DCACIA exam certifies your knowledge of working with Cisco switches in ACI mode including configuration, implementation, and management.

    After you pass 300-630 DCACIA, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – ACI Advanced Implementation certification and you satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the CCNP Data Center certification.
