Implementing Cisco Data Center Network Infrastructure 1
Duration
5 days.
Prerequisites
CCNP or CCIE Routing and Switching certification status or equivalent knowledge
Course Content
The DCNI-1 course will teach you to build scalable, reliable, and intelligent Data Center networks using Catalyst 6500 Series switches. You will deploy an efficient and expandable enterprise network using Catalyst 6500, 4900, and the Data Center Infrastructure Module of the Enterprise Composite Network Model (ECNM). Explore the capabilities and performance considerations of the Catalyst 6500 Series switch supervisor modules including Sup720-3B/BXL, Sup32-PISA, and Sup720-10G-3C/CXL.
In class you will identify and implement traffic flows including FWSM routed/transparent modes, supervisor based packet acceleration, and FWSM—PISA integration and describe the multiple contexts concept, and how multiple contexts are provisioned and managed on FWSM.
Course Objectives
Identify the Catalyst 6500, 4900, and Blade Switch families and hardware options
Describe the Catalyst 6500 advanced configuration, management, and maintenance features
Identify, design, and implement the firewall services using the Catalyst 6500 Series switch Firewall Services Module (FWSM)
Describe, configure, and use the NAM for network traffic monitoring
Identify, describe, and deploy the high availability (HA) features in the Data Center
Describe the steps for the initial NAM configuration.
Configure the Catalyst 6500 Series switch to collect and send data to NAM
Identify the first-hop (default gateway) failure and describe the various options (HSRP, FHRP, VRRP, and GLBP) to overcome this problem
Identify and describe the purpose of the Catalyst 6500 Series switch supervisor engine redundancy features including RPR, RPR+, and Stateful Switchover (SSO) with emphasis on the latest
Configure, examine, and compare the RPR+, SSO, and SSO with NSF Catalyst 6500 Series switch supervisor redundancy features
