Course Description
Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCIT) v7.0
Learn to troubleshoot LAN, SAN, Cisco Data Center Unified Fabric, Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), and Cisco Application-Centric Infrastructure (ACI). You will learn methodologies and tools to identify issues that may occur in data center network architecture. You will get extensive hands-on practice troubleshooting installation, configuration and interconnectivity issues on Cisco MDS switches, Cisco Nexus switches, Cisco Fabric Extenders (FEXs), Cisco UCS, Cisco ACI, and more.
This course will help you:
- Learn how to deploy and troubleshoot various components of Cisco data center infrastructure to support performance, resiliency, scalability needs
- Gain knowledge and skills through Cisco’s unique combination of lessons and hands-on practice using enterprise-grade Cisco learning technologies, data center equipment, and software
- Qualify for professional-level job roles
- Prepare you to take the exam, Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (300-615 DCIT), which leads to CCNP Data Center and the Cisco Certified Specialist - Data Center Operations Certification. Required exam and recommended training 300-615 DCIT Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCIT)
- Certification track - CCNP Data Center Certification DCCOR (Core) + DCIT (concentration elective) = CCNP Data Center Certification
This course earns you 50 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
