The Implementing Cisco Nexus 9000 Switches in NX-OS Mode – Advanced (DCNXA) is an instructor-led or virtual instructor-led course that provides advanced training in applying and managing the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in NX-OS mode.
The Cisco NX-OS platform deploys Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Ethernet VPN (EVPN) using Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), implements Multi-Site VXLAN EVPN, and integrates L4-L7 services into the fabric providing external connectivity, utilizing advanced tenant features. You will also learn how to implement Cisco NX-OS Enhanced Policy-Based Redirect (ePBR) and Intelligent Traffic Director (ITD) features.

This course will help you learn how you can integrate Cisco Nexus 9000 Switches in NX-OS mode to manage your enterprise IT environment and understand the common platform architecture and key features of the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series in NX-OS mode to provide a consistent set of provisioning, management, and diagnostic capabilities for applications.
