Description

The Implementing Cisco NX-OS Switches and Fabrics in the Data Center (DCNX) v1.0 is a 5-day instructor-led or virtual instructor-led which course gives you a detailed understanding of the Cisco Nexus switch platform and teach you how to install, configure, and manage Cisco Nexus switch platforms in a scalable, highly available environment. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on labs, you will learn how to describe various aspects of the Cisco Nexus product families and platforms, including implementation, management, security, programmability and storage. Additionally, you will learn how to configure device aliases and zoning, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and N-Port Identifier Virtualization (NPIV), and N-Port Virtualization (NPV) modes.

This course will help you describe, implement, configure, and manage Cisco Nexus product families and platforms, including redundancy protocols and security features, in a scalable environment, gain valuable hands-on experience with Cisco Nexus products in a lab setting and develop expertise with the Cisco Nexus product families and platforms.

This training awards 40 Continuing Education credits.
