Description
The Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Operations and Troubleshooting (DCACIO) training shows you how to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot Cisco® Nexus® 9000 Series Switches in Application-Centric Infrastructure (ACI) mode.
Through expert instruction and hands-on practice, you will learn about operational tools, best practices, caveats, and practice troubleshooting common issues on a live fabric. Based on lessons learned in a wide range of production deployments, this training gives you the real-world knowledge and skills to boost operational efficiencies in your own deployment.
This training also earns you 24 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
