You will gain knowledge in implementing key capabilities such as fabric discovery, policies, connectivity, VMM integration, and many others

Cisco ACI is an SDN solution that defines its network infrastructure based upon network policies. To make this possible Cisco has created the ACI Fabric OS, which is run by all systems within the ACI network. This shared OS makes it possible for the various switches within the ACI network to translate policies into infrastructure designs.

This 12 hour course will help you understand the underlying technologies Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) Solution.

It is highly recommended that you are CCNA or at least knowledgeable in basics of Networking.
