Implementing Cisco Data Centre Network Infrastructure 1 (DCNI-1)

This course is primarily focused on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 and Catalyst 4900 series of switches, there is some content around Cisco\\\'s blade switch technology but this is not the main focus of this course.The Catalyst 6500Switch modulesare incorporated but this is largely restricted to the FWSM and NAM. This is predominantly an implementation course, however delegates will still gain an understanding of how data centers have evolved and what the latest trends are within this technology area, enabling them to correctly position Cisco platforms for the access, aggregation and core layers of the data center. The overallgoal of this course is to enable customers to build scalable, reliable, and intelligent Data Center networks using Cisco Catalyst 6500 and Catalyst 4900 switches.

Course Objectives
After you complete this course, you will be able to:

• To fully understand and be able to deploy the Cisco Data Center solution, incorporating the Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 4900 Series Switches, as well as the options available in the Cisco Blade Switch family.
• To identify and implement traffic flows, including FWSM routed and transparent modes, supervisor-based packet acceleration, and FWSM-PISA integration.
• To have an understanding of NAM hardware, and be able to implement initial configuration, and use Cisco NAM to monitor network traffic.
• To be able to describe and deploy high-availability features in the data centre.

Prerequisites
CCNP or CCIE R&S or CCIE Service Provider


Who should attend
This course is designed for Network Field Engineers who are already capable of implementing and optimising basic Layer 2 and Layer 3 services using Cisco IOS and the Cisco Catalyst switching platform, but who require more indepth training on the Catalyst 6500 and 4900
switches .
