Cisco Nexus Switching

Advanced Features and Data Center Interconnect

Cisco Platinum Learning Business Enablement Logo

Today, Nexus switches constitute the central components of the infrastructure. For this reason, knowledge of significant system parameters and features is mandatory. In the second part of the training, we will set up a basic configuration and extend it by means of optimizations in the management. The classic VLAN structures will be migrated to scalable fabric concepts, such as Fabric Path and VXLAN. In the process, the protocol on the lower layers, such as multicasting with PIM or routing with IS-IS, will be discussed. The configuration and optimization are further worked out in the test network. Larger-scale networks demand the interconnection of LANs and data centers beyond company sites, which can be implemented by means of various overlay networks, such as OTV, MPLS VPNs, or EVPN. These overlay technologies and the protocols used in this context are presented and configured in the test network.
