Course Description
DCNX - Implementing Cisco NX-OS Switches and Fabrics in the Data Center v1.0
The Implementing Cisco NX-OS Switches and Fabrics in the Data Center (DCNX) v1.0 course gives you a detailed understanding of the Cisco® Nexus switch platform and teaches 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, in Implementing Cisco NX-OS Switches and Fabrics in the Data Center (DCNX), 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
- Develop expertise with the Cisco Nexus product families and platforms
