Overview
Implementing Cisco Data Center Virtualization and Automation (DCVAI) v6.0 is a five-day instructor-led course that is designed to help students prepare for the Cisco CCNP Data Center certification and for professional-level data center roles. The focus of
this skills-building course is on the implementation and deployment automation of Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and Cisco Nexus switches. The course provides rich, hands-on experience in building a data center solution based on Cisco ACI.
Learners are introduced to the automation capabilities offered by Python and RESTful APIs in combination with Cisco ACI and Cisco Nexus switches.
Objectives
After completion of this course, students will be able to…
Implement infrastructure virtualization solutions, such as VDC, VRFs, Cisco Nexus 1000v, and Cisco AVS
Identify programmability methods and program Cisco Nexus switches using XML, Python, and NXAPI
Implement a Cisco ACI solution that provides fabric connectivity to bare-metal hosts, virtual machines, and external Layer 2 and Layer 3 domains
Integrate Cisco ACI with virtual machine managers, such as VMware vCenter
Enforce application policies in intra- and intertenant scenarios
Deploy Cisco AVS and microsegmentation
Program Cisco ACI using Python, RESTful APIs, and Arya
Orchestrate Cisco ACI using the Cisco UCS Director
Insert L4-L7 services into the Cisco ACI fabric
Monitor Cisco ACI deployment using atomic counters and other monitoring tools.
