The 300-620 DCACI (Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure) training course is tailored for individuals aspiring to obtain the CCNP Datacenter ACI Certification. It provides comprehensive insights into deploying, configuring, and managing Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) mode. Participants will gain expertise in connecting the Cisco ACI fabric to external networks and services, as well as integrating with Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) technologies.
Module 1: Introduction to Cisco ACI Fabric Infrastructure and Fundamental Concepts
Understanding Cisco ACI: Overview of Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and its key features.
Cisco ACI Topology and Hardware: Exploring the physical topology and hardware components involved in Cisco ACI deployment.
Cisco ACI Object Model: Overview of the object model used in Cisco ACI for policy-based management.
Faults, Event Record, and Audit Log: Understanding fault management, event recording, and audit logging mechanisms in Cisco ACI.
Cisco ACI Fabric Discovery: Exploring the process of discovering fabric components within the Cisco ACI environment.
Fabric Discovery Validation: Methods for validating and verifying the successful discovery of fabric components.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) Configuration: Configuring NTP to ensure accurate time synchronization within the Cisco ACI fabric.
Module 2: Cisco ACI Access Policies and Logical Constructs
Introduction to Cisco ACI Access Policies: Understanding the concept of access policies in Cisco ACI and their role in defining network behavior.
Access Policies and vPC Configuration: Configuring access policies and virtual PortChannels (vPC) for network connectivity.
Cisco ACI Policy Model Logical Constructs: Describing logical constructs within the Cisco ACI policy model, including tenants, virtual routing and forwarding (VRF), bridge domains, endpoint groups (EPG), and application profiles.
Tenant Components Review: Reviewing the components and configurations associated with tenants in Cisco ACI.
Layer 2 Connectivity in the Same EPG: Enabling layer 2 connectivity within the same endpoint group (EPG) in Cisco ACI.
Contracts: Configuring contracts to define communication rules between endpoint groups (EPGs) in Cisco ACI.
Inter-EPG Layer 2 Connectivity: Enabling layer 2 connectivity between different endpoint groups (EPGs) in Cisco ACI.
Module 3: Cisco ACI Packet Forwarding and External Connectivity
Basic Packet Forwarding in Cisco ACI: Explaining endpoint learning and basic bridge domain configuration knobs for packet forwarding.
Layer 3 Connectivity Between EPGs: Enabling layer 3 connectivity between different endpoint groups (EPGs) in Cisco ACI.
Traffic Forwarding Methods in Bridge Domains: Comparing different traffic forwarding methods within a bridge domain in Cisco ACI.
External Network Connectivity: Introducing options for connecting Cisco ACI fabric to external networks, including layer 2 and layer 3 connectivity.
Configuration of External Layer 2 and Layer 3 Connections: Configuring external layer 2 and layer 3 (L3Out) connections in Cisco ACI.
Module 4: Cisco ACI Integration and Management
VMware vCenter Integration: Exploring VMware vCenter integration options with Cisco ACI, including resolution immediacy and alternative integration methods.
Layer 4 to Layer 7 Service Integrations: Describing the integration of layer 4 to layer 7 services in Cisco ACI, both with and without service graphs.
Cisco ACI Management: Explaining management aspects of Cisco ACI, including out-of-band and in-band management, fabric-wide system settings, syslog, SNMP, configuration backup, authentication, authorization, accounting (AAA), role-based access control (RBAC), upgrade procedures, and tech support collection.
