Description:
5-day hands-on training course that teaches you how to implement an enterprise data center architecture with the next-generation Cisco Nexus™ product family. DCNI-2 v3.0 includes an overview of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). This course provides a technical overview of the Cisco Nexus platform architecture, deployment, and operations, including virtual device contexts, Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, quality of service (QoS), and security. A solution based approach is applied to multiple Nexus products in the lab. You will explore the features of NX-OS and the Cisco Nexus platform by performing hands-on labs. This course can be used to prepare for the DCNIS-2 exam that is part of the Cisco Data Center Networking Infrastructure Support Specialist certification program.
