DCNDE 1.0 - Data Center Nexus Dashboard Essentials
Introdução
The Data Center Nexus Dashboard Essentials (DCNDE) v1.0 course focuses on the Cisco Nexus Dashboard platform, and the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller.
The first part of the course explains the Cisco Nexus Dashboard, a platform that can host several applications, including Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator, and Nexus Dashboard Insights.
The second part of the course focuses on NDFC (formerly known as DCNM) and its LAN Controller functionality.
The course is 5 days long and includes several remote lab activities that are running the live software solution in real time.

Objetivo
Upon completing this course you will be able to:
• Describe the Cisco Nexus Dashboard platform and the need for Day 2 Operations tools in a modern data center.
• Describe the Cisco Nexus Dashboard licensing options.
• Describe Cisco Nexus Dashboard logical network connectivity for the virtual and physical appliance, and the IP pools and routes used by various Cisco Nexus Dashboard applications.
• Describe the Nexus Dashboard GUI for operation and configuration.
• Describe the software stack of a Cisco Nexus Dashboard cluster and explain different Cisco Nexus Dashboard cluster deployment options and cluster components for scalability and high availability.
• Describe the Cisco Nexus Dashboard installation procedure including how to perform the GUI bootstrap upon installation, how to register nodes to the cluster, how to claim the ND cluster to Intersight, and how to onboard Cisco ACI and Cisco NDFC Sites.
• Describe how to perform Cisco Nexus Dashboard firmware upgrades by considering the prerequisites and guidelines, and learn how to perform a software upgrade of a physical and virtual Cisco Nexus Dashboard appliance.
• Describe application installations on Cisco Nexus Dashboard as well as list CPU and memory requirements for application-specific deployment profiles.
• Describe Cisco Nexus Dashboard roles and permissions. These include the various user roles available within the Cisco Nexus Dashboard, and the procedure of adding a user to the Cisco Nexus Dashboard and assigning roles to that user.
• Configure RADIUS, TACACS+, and LDAP authentication providers on the Cisco Nexus Dashboard platform.
• Describe how to monitor Cisco Dashboard resources, and what the available options are in the System Resources and Resource Utilization menus.
• Describe how to generate a technical support package using both GUI and CLI to submit to Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC), and use the CLI commands for basic application management of Cisco Nexus Dashboard.
• Add a Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and a Cisco NDFC site, and perform tasks, such as adding the Cisco NDFC site on the One View map.
• Explore the Cisco Nexus Dashboard web GUI, walk through all of the menus, and experience where specific tasks, such as adding sites, can be accomplished.
• Provide an overview of the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller application.
• Explain various available dashobards within Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller.
• Explore the Data Center with Cisco NDFC topology views, LAN Fabric view, LAN Switches view, and credential management.
• Explain Cisco NDFC customizable templates.
• Perform firmware image management using Cisco NDFC.
• Describes license management using Cisco NDFC.
• Use the RBAC model that Nexus Dashboard provides to Cisco NDFC to assign a mix of read-only and read/write privileges to users.
• Exploring the Cisco NDFC dashboards, Topology view, LAN menu, settings, and operations; manage alarms, create reports, configure credentials, add switches, assign licenses to devices and servers.
• Create and deploy a working VXLAN fabric on your Cisco Nexus switches using Cisco NDFC.
• Installing the Cisco Nexus Dashboard cluster and Cisco NDFC.
• Discover existing network devices with Cisco NDFC.
• Deploy a VXLAN EVPN fabric with Cisco NDFC.
• Manage and monitor the data center fabric with Cisco NDFC, including: building fabrics, adding switches, creating multisite domains, configure eBGP peering, set up a border gateway, and administer fabrics.
• Describe APIs for network management via Cisco NDFC, REST architecture and Cisco NDFC REST API, and use Ansible to automate and orchestrate your network management tasks.
• Migrate from Cisco Data Cetner Network Manager (DCNM) to Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller
• Configure and execute PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP) to discover new switches and add them to the fabric automatically.
• Create a VXLAN EBGP fabric on Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches. VXLAN EVPN fabrics can use underlays where routing is provided by several routing protocols: OSPF, IS-IS, and EBGP. This activity focuses on the latest example. Cisco NDFC lets you create a fabric with EBGP underlay very quickly and easily. The overlay routing protocol in this case is also BGP, which takes care of reachability of particular endpoints in an EVPN that uses VXLAN encapsulation.
