DCACIO – Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Operations and Troubleshooting
The DCNX Implementing Cisco NX-OS Switches and Fabrics in the Data Center Course is a training program that provides participants with an in-depth understanding of Cisco Nexus switch he Cisco DCACIO Application Centric Infrastructure Operations and Troubleshooting Course is a comprehensive training program designed for operators who manage existing networks or who have completed the Implementing Cisco Application-Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) Course . The course covers key components and procedures required to operate, manage, and monitor Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in Application-Centric Infrastructure (ACI) mode. Through a combination of theory and hands-on labs, participants gain interactive experience that prepares them to manage complex monitoring and operations challenges. The course covers integrated Cisco ACI tools for network operation and monitoring, use of Cisco Nexus Dashboard and Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights, and best practices for installing, upgrading, backing up, restoring, and migrating from NX-OS to ACI. Additionally, attendees will learn best practices for Cisco ACI naming conventions, Day-0 configuration, VMM integration, and ACI migrations.platforms. Through instructor-led videos and hands-on labs, participants will learn how to install, configure, and manage Cisco Nexus switch platforms in a scalable, highly available environment. During the course, participants will explore various aspects of Cisco Nexus product families and platforms, including deployment, management, security, programmability, and storage. Device aliasing and zoning configurations, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), N-Port Identifier Virtualization (NPIV), and N-Port Virtualization (NPV) will also be covered. The course is designed to ensure that participants gain both practical and theoretical skills to successfully work with Cisco Nexus switch platforms in the data center.
