Course Overview
The Operating Cisco IP Fabric for Media Solution (NIL-IPFMSN) course provides a comprehensive introduction to the Cisco IP Fabric for Media (IPFM) solution. Designed for broadcast engineers transitioning to IP-based technologies in place of traditional Serial Digital Interface (SDI) deployments, this course explores the deployment, operation, and troubleshooting of Cisco IPFM. You will gain hands-on experience with the Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) Media Controller, a critical component of the IPFM architecture. Through lab exercises, you will learn to configure, manage, and troubleshoot the NDFC Media Controller to optimize media flow orchestration across the fabric.
