Introduction:
The Configuring Cisco Nexus Switches (DCCNX) v1.0 course shows you how to install, configure, and manage Cisco Nexus Series Switch platforms using Cisco NX-OS to support highly available, secure, scalable virtualized data centers. Through expert instruction and hands-on practice, you will learn how to deploy Cisco NX-OS software features including networking, virtualization, security, storage services, system management, and monitoring. You will also be introduced to automating Cisco Nexus devices using Cisco NX-OS Software programmability features. For a technical overview of Cisco Nexus Switches, consider taking the Introducing Cisco NX-OS Switches and Fabrics in the Data Center (DCINX) course.
This course will help you:
- Gain the knowledge and skills to deploy advanced capabilities of Cisco Nexus NX-OS Software and Cisco Nexus Series data center switches
- Learn through Cisco’s unique combination of lessons and hands-on practice using enterprise-grade Cisco learning technologies, data center equipment, and software
- Succeed in today’s demanding data center operations roles
