DCNXA - Implementing Cisco Nexus 9000 Switches in NX-OS Mode Advanced

Introdução

The Implementing Cisco Nexus 9000 Switches in NX-OS Mode Advanced (DCNXA) course is a four-day training course designed as a comprehensive hands-on experience with advanced details of implementation and management of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in NX-OS mode, intended for data center systems engineers, field engineers, architects, and Cisco partners who implement data center solutions with the Cisco Nexus Series switch platforms.

The goal of this course is to provide learners with advanced details of implementation and management of the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in NX-OS mode, so they can deploy VXLAN EVPN using Cisco DCNM, implement Multi-Site VXLAN EVPN, integrate L4-L7 services into the fabric, provide external connectivity, and utilize advanced tenant features. The students will also learn how to implement Cisco NX-OS Enhanced Policy Based Redirect (ePBR) and Intelligent Traffic Director (ITD) features.
