Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI)

Deze training richt zich op het implementeren en beheren van Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) met behulp van Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches. Je leert hoe je een ACI-fabric opzet, beheert en integreert met externe netwerken en virtuele omgevingen (zoals VMware vCenter).

Je ontwikkelt vaardigheden in onder andere:

• Cisco ACI-architectuur, topologie en objectmodel
• Fabric discovery en het configureren van access policies
• Opzetten van tenants, bridge domains, endpoint groups (EPG’s) en contracts
• L2- en L3-connectiviteit met externe netwerken
• Layer 4 tot Layer 7 service graphs en appliance-integratie
• Cisco ACI-beheerfuncties zoals RBAC, logging, AAA en upgrades

De praktijklabs zorgen voor hands-on ervaring met het configureren van policies, netwerkconnectiviteit, service insertion en APIC-integratie met VMM’s. Hiermee vertaal je theorie direct naar realistische netwerkscenario’s.

Deze training is bedoeld voor netwerkengineers, datacenterbeheerders, system engineers, consultants en Cisco-partners die zich willen certificeren als Cisco Certified Specialist – Data Center ACI Implementation of werken aan hun CCNP Data Center.
