Description
The Cisco Data Center CCIE Unified Fabric Workshop (DCXUF) v1.0 instructor-led course is designed for candidates who are preparing to take the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert – Data Center (CCIE DC) certification lab exam.
This course challenges students with complex lab scenarios that provide a deep dive into the detailed configuration and optimization of protocols and features found in the data center unified fabric. Topics include configuration of Cisco unified fabric features available in NX-OS, encompassing both the Cisco Nexus and Cisco MDS platforms. The labs provide detailed insight into the areas defined in the Cisco data center infrastructure – NX-OS and Cisco storage networking.
Although approximately 80 percent of the course consists of labs, instructor provides students with an understanding of how to interpret Cisco exam questions, a detailed solution for each challenge, as well as examples of common mistakes, troubleshooting techniques, and validation.
As students learn their weaknesses, instructor offers chalk talks to help candidates better understand protocols and work through deficiencies.
