This intensive 2-day Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) course will introduce students to the basic concepts behind Multi-Fabric topologies, design and deployment. Through a combination of lecture and hands-on labs configuring ACI policy-based architecture, students will learn the configuration and use cases behind Multi-Pod, Multi-Site, Remote Leaf, Virtual Pod and ACI Mini-Fabric designs and recommended best practices.
The course will include intense hands-on labs of all the key functions necessary to bring up a working ACI Multi-Site fabric using ACI APIC simulators. Students will be provided with their own ACI APIC simulator and will work in pairs to create their own fabric and then join that fabric into a Multi-Site topology with their partner. -
Course Contents
-
- ACI Overview and Review
- ACI Fabric Topologies
- Cisco ACI Multi-Pod Control and Data Planes
- Cisco ACI Multi-Site Deployment
- MSO Deployment Considerations
You will receive the original course documentation from Cisco in English language. Optionally, we provide a printed version or a Cisco E-Book.
