Implementing & Configuring Cisco Nexus 5000 & 7000

Course Code: ICNX7
Duration: 3
Price: Please Call 

Overview 

In this 3-day course, you will learn how to implement an enterprise Data Center routing and switching infrastructure with the next-generation Cisco Nexus 7000 platform. This course provides a technical overview of the Nexus platform architecture, deployment, and operations, including Virtual Device Contexts, Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, QoS, and security.

The features of NX-OS and the Nexus platform are explored using hands-on labs which incorporate actual Nexus 7000 Switches as opposed to using NX-OS simulators.



This course is delivered as part of the Global Knowledge and Firefly strategic alliance, providing delegates with the latest in Data Center technology.


Pre-Requisites

Delegates should meet the following prerequisites:

  • Familiarity with TCP/IP protocol suite
  • Knowledge of Layer 2 switching
  • Knowledge of Layer 3 routing protocols
  • Understanding of Cisco Data Center architecture
