Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) v4 Bootcamp

Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is one of the industry-leading software-defined networking (SDN) solutions for the Data Center. In INE’s Implementing ACI course, you will learn both the theory and practice of running Cisco’s Nexus 9000 series switches in ACI-mode, from Day-0 initialization of the fabric to Day-1 operations. This course takes a hands-on approach to learning. The vast majority of the course utilizes the Application Centric Infrastructure Controller (APIC) GUI and CLI interfaces for live configuration, verification, and troubleshooting examples. This course applies to CCNP and CCIE Data Center candidates and the everyday network engineer who wants to add Cisco ACI knowledge to their skillset. At the end of this course, students will be able to: * Understand the components that make up the ACI system * Explain the main features and functionality of the ACI system * Build an ACI fabric from scratch * Manage an already existing ACI fabric Recommended Knowledge or Skills Prior to Taking this Course * Layer 2 Ethernet Switching * Layer 3 IP Routing * Basic Virtualization knowledge Note: An updated version of this course is available here.
