Cisco CCNA Data Center: Nexus, Advanced Switching & SAN

A course focused on several topics tested in the 640-916 exam required for the CCNA Data Center, including Cisco Nexus, advanced switching, and storage area networks (SAN).

The CCNA Data Center covers a wide range of technologies found in the data center. In this course, we dive deep into LAN architecture with the Cisco Nexus line of switches, their specific use cases, and how to perform initial setup and configuration. We'll also look at advanced switching techniques, such as Virtual Port Channels, FabricPath, and Virtual Device Contexts (VDCs). Finally, we'll switch gears and focus on Storage Area Network (SAN) design and implementation with the Cisco MDS line of switches, including port types, Virtual SAN (VSAN), zoning, masking, and Fabric Login (FLOGI).
