Course Description

The need for companies to offer secure, reliable access to data centers and storage facilities for users and applications continues to grow in today's high-tech environment. This technological revolution is being led by Cisco. You will learn how Cisco data centers use networking protocols in Deploying Cisco Data Center core: Configuring Networking. We will be looking at the protocols that are used to ensure reliable and redundant connections with Cisco Nexus switches, routers, and routers. To create a redundant loop-free network, you'll first need to learn how port aggregation protocols can be deployed. Next, you'll learn how to deploy routing protocols OSPFv2, OSPFv3, BGP and how IP multicast can help facilitate delivery of various applications within the datacenter. You will also learn about the Cisco overlay protocols OTV and VXLAN. This will allow you to understand how they connect Layer 2 networks with Layer 3 transport networks. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to manage and implement these protocols within Cisco data centers.

What You Will Learn

You will learn how to configure and deploy the networking protocols used in Cisco data centers

We are going to examine the protocols used to provide reliable, redundant connections using Cisco Nexus, switches, and routers

First, you will learn how to deploy port aggregation protocols to provide a loop-free redundant network

Next, you will explore how to deploy routing protocols OSPFv2, OSPFv3, and BGP, and how IP multicast can be deployed within the data center to facilitate the delivery requirements of a variety of applications

Finally, you will explore the Cisco overlay protocols, OTV and VXLAN, so that you will understand how they are used to connect disparate Layer 2 data center networks over Layer 3 transport networks

When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge needed to implement, manage, and maintain these protocols used within Cisco data centers
