Course Content:
In this course, you will prepare for the Cisco CCNP Data Center certification exam and for professional-level data center roles. The focus of this skills-building course is on the implementation and deployment automation of Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and Cisco Nexus switches. The course provides rich, hands-on experience in building a data center solution based on Cisco ACI.
Course Objectives:
- Implement infrastructure virtualization solutions, such as VDC, VRFs, Cisco Nexus 1000v, and Cisco AVS
- Identify programmability methods and program Cisco Nexus switches using XML, Python, and NXAPI
- Implement a Cisco ACI solution that provides fabric connectivity to bare-metal hosts, virtual machines, and external Layer 2 and Layer 3 domains
- Integrate Cisco ACI with virtual machine managers, such as VMware vCenter
- Enforce application policies in intra- and inter-tenant scenarios
- Deploy Cisco AVS and microsegmentation
- Program Cisco ACI using Python, RESTful APIs, and Arya
- Orchestrate Cisco ACI using the Cisco UCS Director
- Insert Layer 4 – Layer 7 services into the Cisco ACI fabric
- Monitor Cisco ACI deployment using atomic counters and other monitoring tools
