Description

The Configuring Cisco Nexus 7000 Switches (DCNX7K) v3.1 is a 5-day instructor-led course that introduces learners to implementing a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches in the data center solution.
This is an updated course that includes coverage of new features introduced in Cisco NX-OS 6.2 and also includes introductory coverage of Cisco Nexus Series Switches. The course focuses on the product hardware, its architecture, key features, and market differentiators, with extensive feature configuration and hands-on labs.
A certification exam is not associated with this course, and Channel Partner deployment engineers use this training as augmentation to the Implementing Cisco Data Center Unified Fabric (DCUFI) course material to provide in-depth experience in implementing the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches features.
