Description
The Configuring ACI in the Cisco Nexus Data Center (CACND) v1.0 is a 4-day instructor-led course that introduces learners to the advanced knowledge and skill sets required to successfully deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) in a data center environment.
The course teaches learners the fundamental concepts that Cisco ACI and its operational elements are built on, and explores in detail the hardware components used, namely the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches, and the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC). Learners learn how to configure the various parts of the ACI environment to create a fully functional data center network based on this technology. The course also explains troubleshooting through specific exercises and teaches how to migrate a traditional data center environment to Cisco ACI.
This course combines lecture materials and hands-on labs throughout to make sure that learners are able to successfully deploy, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot a Cisco ACI environment.
This course can be delivered both in a classroom as well as virtually. When delivered virtually the length of the course is extended to 5 days.
