Ethernet services play an essential role in data centers and cloud environments. Traditional LAN and MPLS-based solutions suffer from scalability problems in large infrastructures. Ethernet VPN with BGP is a further development of proven methods based on various transport technologies in the direction of an Ethernet fabric. In the data center, VXLAN is particularly important as a transport. Cisco has integrated VXLAN based Ethernet VPN as a feature in the NX-OS of the Nexus 9000 switches. The course explains the theoretical concepts of VXLAN based BGP EVPNs and differentiates the technology from VXLAN Flood and Learn. The topics of configuration and monitoring in the NX-OS build on this. A practice environment with Nexus 9000 systems offers the opportunity to put theory into practice and deepens the understanding of the interrelationships.

Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
