ECS – Data Center VDX – VCS Fabric Configuration and Implementation (EDCVDX)

 

Course Overview

This course introduces the deployment of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features in a VDX switch Ethernet fabric. It is designed to help an administrator configure and manage the layer 3 capabilities of an Ethernet fabric-based network.

Prerequisites

Before taking this course, students should have working knowledge of:

  • VDX products
  • Networking Foundations or equivalent knowledge
  • Acquired 80% or more knowledge self-assessment on Networking Foundations Course
  • Working knowledge of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:

  • Install and configure a VCS Fabric
  • Configure the VCS parameters to create a VCS Fabric
  • Configure features such as VLANs, Spanning Tree, vLAGs, breakout ports
  • Configure other features such as SNMP, NTP, sFLOW, AAA, 802.1x and syslog
  • Explain VCS Fabric features such as TRILL, DCB, ETS, PFC and FSPF
  • Explain traffic flow through a VCS Fabric
  • Explain the steps to upgrade firmware
  • Explain the Layer 3 processing and forwarding of traffic within a VCS fabric
  • Describe and configure Automatic Migration of Port Profiles (AMPP) in a VCS fabric
  • Describe the Layer 3 protocols supported in NOS and the various VDX switches
  • Describe and configure Layer 3 protocols in a VCS fabric using VDX switches
  • Discuss and deploy Layer 3 security and traffic control features in a VCS fabric
  • Discuss and deploy Layer 3 redundancy and dynamic routing protocols in a VCS fabric
  • Describe additional Layer 3 features including multitenancy and flow control
  • Explain and configure fault detection protocols in a VCS fabric
  • Identify the concepts and protocols used to deploy an IP Fabric on VDX switches
  • Discuss best practices when deploying a Layer 3 solution in a VCS fabric
  • Hands on labs to reinforce lecture material
