1 Introducing Cisco Data Center Networking Course DCICN v1.0; 4 Days, Instructor-led Course Description DCICN will introduce the students to the three primary technologies that are used in the Cisco Data Center. The introductory level of knowledge that is taught in the course is targeted for individuals that will perform only the more basic configuration tasks. The course labs will focus on viewing configurations, but not on making configuration changes or creating new topologies. Course Objectives Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives: Describe how a network works Configure, verify, and troubleshoot a switch with VLANs and interswitch communications Implement an IP addressing scheme and IP services to meet network requirements Configure, verify, and troubleshoot routing operations on Cisco Nexus switches Prerequisites The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows: Basic computer literacy Basic knowledge of Microsoft Windows operating systems Basic Internet usage skills Target Audience The primary audience for this course is as follows: Network administrators Network engineers Cisco Integrators/Partners Systems engineers The secondary audience for this course is as follows: Network designers Network managers Consulting systems engineers Technical solutions architects Course Outline Course Introduction Course Overview o Learner Prerequisite Skills and Knowledge
