Khawar Butt offers detailed coverage of Cisco’s ACI Technology, its components and implementations. The course covers concepts like Fabric Discovery, Access Provisioning, Tenant Provisioning, End-Point-Groups (EPGs), Contracts, External Domains (L2OUT & L3OUT), Multi-Tenancy, MultiPod & Multisite. The course will also introduce Automation Scripting using POSTMAN. The course assumes no prior knowledge of ACI.

Outcome

Upon course completion, students will be able to:

Know and understand Cisco’s ACI concepts, features, benefits, components & technologies
Understand the Underlay compnents of ACI (IS-IS, COOP, PIM, VXLAN, MP-BGP)
Identify the roles and functions of Spine Switches, Leaf Switches and the APIC
Know and understand the Fabric Discovery Process in ACI
Configure the Fabric Access Policies (Interface Policies, Policy Groups, Interface & Switch Profiles, AAEP & Doamins)
Understand and Implement Tenant Components (Tenants, VRFs, Bridge Domains & Subnets)
Understand and Implement End-Point Groups (EPGs) & Contracts
Configure Micro Segmentation
Configure External Communication using L2OUT & L3OUT
Understand and Implement Inter-VRF and Inter-Tenant Communications
