This 5-day hands-on course replaces the DCNI-2 course with 3-1/2 days of actual Nexus 7000 and 1-1/2 days of Nexus 2000 & 5000 lecture and hands on labs. DCNI-2 Nexus teaches you how to implement an enterprise Data Center routing and switching infrastructure with the next-generation Cisco Nexus product family and includes an overview of the FCoE.
This course provides a technical overview of the Nexus platform architecture, deployment, and operations, including Virtual Device Contexts, Layer 2, QoS, and security. You will explore the features of NX-OS and the Nexus platform by performing hands-on labs using a solution level topology.
