Implementing and Configuring the Cisco Nexus 5000 (ICNX5)

In this hands-on course, delegates will learn how to implement Access Layer infrastructures using next-generation Cisco Nexus 5000 switches and Nexus 2000 Fabric Extenders. This course provides a technical overview of the Nexus 5000 platform architecture, design guidelines, deployment and operations, including Fibre Channel over Ethernet, Layer 2, Qos and Security.
Delegates will explore the features of NX-OS and the Nexus platform by performing hands-on labs using real Nexus 5000 and Nexus 2000 labs. Labs include basic FCoE configuration, NPV mode deployment, Virtual PortChannels, security in both Ethernet and FCoE environments, QoS and troubleshooting.
