CCNP Data Center DCACIA – Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure – Advanced

The DCACIA Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure – Advanced course is part of the Cisco CCNP Data Center track . The Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure – Advanced (DCACIA) course is an advanced learning experience that focuses on managing and implementing Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in Cisco ACI mode. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the key components and advanced procedures required to configure and manage Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in ACI mode. The course also covers how to implement a traditional network in Cisco ACI and how to achieve Multi-Pod and Multi-Site implementations of Cisco ACI. This training is especially useful for those interested in automation and programmability in network and software engineering. The course contributes to the preparation for the CCNP Data Center Certification exam (Exam 300-630) .
