Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure-Advanced (DCACIA) v1.1
Duration : 5 Days (40 Hours)
Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure-Advanced (DCACIA) v1.1 Course Overview:
In the Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure-Advanced (DCACIA) v1.1 course, you will learn to leverage the capabilities of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) mode. The course focuses on configuring and managing Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in ACI mode to provide an enhanced management and policy framework, including the underlying fabric protocols.
Additionally, you will learn how to utilize Cisco ACI as a policy-driven solution that integrates software and hardware, enabling efficient network management. The course covers advanced topics such as Cisco ACI Multi-Pod deployments and Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO) deployments.
Through hands-on practice, you will gain experience in implementing advanced ACI capabilities. These include features such as Rogue Endpoint detection, Transit Routing, VRF Route Leaking, Contracts and Zoning Rules, Policy-Based Redirect to Layer 4-7 Service Nodes, Multi-Pod Fabric, and Cisco ACI Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator.
By the end of the course, you will have acquired the knowledge and skills to effectively integrate and utilize Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in ACI mode. You will be able to implement advanced ACI capabilities to enhance network operations and optimize policy-driven management within your infrastructure.
This course earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
