Learn how to implement the routing and switching infrastructure in the Cisco Enterprise Data Center Architecture with the next-generation Cisco Nexus 5000, 7000, and 2000 series fabric extenders. Receiving a technical overview of the Cisco Nexus platform architecture based on version 5. x, you will cover Deployment and operations, Virtual Device Contexts (VDCs), Virtual Port Channels (vPC), Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV), Layer 2 and Layer 3 features Quality of Service (QoS)and Security. In hands-on labs, you will explore the features of Cisco NX-OS Software and the Cisco Nexus platform, gaining an understanding of the day-to-day operations of these products and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) in today’s data center. The labswithin this course will help you prepare for a new implementation or a migration to the Nexus from the Catalyst platform.
