We provide virtual course about DCACIA: Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Advanced. The Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure–Advanced (DCACIA) course shows you how to integrate the capabilities of the Cisco® Nexus® 9000 Series.
Course description:
Switches in Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI®) mode. You will learn how to configure and manage Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in ACI mode providing enhanced management and policy framework, along with the protocols used in the underlying fabric. The course also covers how to use Cisco ACI as a policy-driven solution that integrates software and hardware, and how to implement Cisco ACI Multi-Pod and Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO) deployments.
You will gain hands-on practice implementing advanced ACI capabilities such as Rogue Endpoint Feature, Transit Routing, VRF Route Leaking, Contracts and Zoning Rules, Policy Based Redirect to Layer 4 - 7 Service Node, Multi-Pod Fabric and Cisco ACI® Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator. This course is delivered by Cisco Advanced Services.
