DCUFI - Implementing Cisco Data Center Unified Fabric v4.0 (5292)
In this course, you will learn the key components and procedures needed to install, configure, manage, and troubleshoot the Cisco Nexus 7000 and 5000 Switches in the network and SAN environment.
We have enhanced the standard Cisco labs to incorporate more troubleshooting and real-world examples. In fact, our Virtual Port Channel (vPC) lab contains three exclusive activities pertaining to failure scenarios.
The labs for this course are based on the following NX-OS codes:
- 7k NX-OS version 5.2(3a)
- 5k NX-OS version 5.1(3)
