Managing LAN Infrastructure with Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNML) v1.1
Duration : 3 Days (24 Hours)
Managing LAN Infrastructure with Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNML) v1.1 Course Overview:
What you’ll learn in this course
The course, Managing LAN Infrastructure with Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNML) v1.1 enhances your knowledge of managing LAN Infrastructure with Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) implementing a spine-and-leaf network fabric using DCNM with Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), Ethernet VPN (EVPN), and
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). You will learn how the integration of spine-and-leaf network fabric with Cisco Data Center Network Manager increases overall data center infrastructure uptime and reliability, thereby improving business continuity. It provides a robust framework and comprehensive feature set that meets the routing,
switching, and storage administration needs of data centers. Cisco DCNM streamlines the provisioning for the unified fabric and monitors the SAN (Storage area network) and LAN (Local area network) components.
How you’ll benefit
This course will help you:
● Acquire the advanced skills and techniques to use spine-leaf topologies to provide better scalability and more seamless capacity and support for devices and lines
● Gain the necessary skills to maximize the benefits of DCNM by integrating automation, and greater visibility into network infrastructure and elimination of configuration errors with templated deployment models
