Implementing and Configuring the Cisco Nexus 1000 and 5000 (ICNX1-5)

The Cisco Nexus product family consists of several products whose individual value is further increased when combined. TheCisco Nexus 1000V is a virtual switch that resides within a VMware ESX Server instance and provides operations and management consistency with existing Cisco Nexus and Catalyst switches. The Cisco Nexus 5000 is a high-density, low latency 10GE switch targeted for top-of-rack and end-of-row deployments, and is the industry's first FCoE-capable switch for I/O consolidation.
When deployed together, the Nexus 5000 and Nexus 1000V enable simple policybased deployment of virtual machines with coordinated configuration of LAN and SAN access.
This 5-day course includes hands-on labs in which you will configure the Nexus 5000 and FCoE, a VMware infrastructure, the Nexus 1000V, and demonstrate policy mobility during virtual machine migration.
