DCNXA- Implementing Cisco Nexus 9000 Switches in NX-OS Mode – Advanced

Description

The Implementing Cisco Nexus 9000 Switches in NX-OS Mode–Advanced (DCNXA) training provides advanced training
in applying and managing the Cisco Nexus® 9000 Series Switches in NX-OS mode. The Cisco® NX-OS platform deploys
Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Ethernet VPN (EVPN) using Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM),
implements Multi-Site VXLAN EVPN, and integrates L4-L7 services into the fabric providing external connectivity, utilizing
advanced tenant features. You will also learn how to implement Cisco NX-OS Enhanced Policy-Based Redirect (ePBR) and
Intelligent Traffic Director (ITD) features.
This training also earns 32 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
