Course Overview

thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique five-day training camp comprised of instructor-led learning for Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI). As with all of our Cisco Training Experiences - exams are delivered in the classroom.

The Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) v1.1 course shows learners how to deploy and manage the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) mode. The course gives learners the knowledge and skills to configure and manage Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in ACI mode, how to connect the Cisco ACI fabric to external networks and services, and fundamentals of Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) integration. Learners will gain hands-on practice implementing key capabilities such as fabric discovery, policies, connectivity, VMM integration, and more.

This course helps learners gain the skills and hands-on practice integrating the enhanced, automated capabilities of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in ACI mode for quicker application deployment and get the knowledge for protocols, solutions and designs to acquire professional-level and expert-level data center job roles.

The 300-620 DCACI exam certifies your knowledge of working with Cisco switches in ACI mode including configuration, implementation, and management. After you pass 300-620 DCACI, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist - Data Center ACI Implementation certification and you satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the CCNP Data Center certification.
