BUILDING ENTERPRISE DATA CENTER ARCHITECTURES (EDCA)
Length: 5-day Workshop
During this intensive five-day course, you will learn to integrate the Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series, Cisco® MDS 9000 Family, and Cisco® ONS 15454 devices in a distributed data center environment. Using Cisco IOS® Software, Cisco® Fabric Manager, Cisco® Device Manager, and Cisco® Transport Controller GUIs, you will build an end-to-end network using switching, storage area network (SAN), and optical (SONET) technologies. Hands-on labs allow you to provision many features, including Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol Plus (Rapid PVST+), Hot Standby Redundancy Protocol (HSRP), Layer 2 and Layer 3 security, virtual SANs (VSANs), zoning, Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP), bidirectional line switch ring (BLSR), and FCIP over SONET.
You will learn to:
- Configure, verify, and troubleshoot Layer 2 features across Cisco Catalyst® 3750 and 6500 Series switches to provide dynamic and robust connectivity to server farms
- Configure, verify, and troubleshoot Layer 2 and Layer 3 security features to provide a minimal level of defense against network attacks
- Configure, verify, and troubleshoot SAN features, including VSANs, zoning, FCIP, and iSCSI, in practical operation scenarios using Cisco® MDS 9000 devices
- Configure, verify, and troubleshoot a SONET BLSR using the Cisco® ONS 15454 SONET Multiservice Provisioning Platform (MSPP) to provide business continuance in a distributed data center environment
- Configure, verify, and troubleshoot the integration of Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series, Cisco® MDS 9000, and Cisco® ONS 15454 devices to build a distributed data center lab topology
Recommended for:
This course is intended for network professionals responsible for supporting the design, deployment, operation, or maintenance of an enterprise data center architecture environment. It is also suitable for network architects, network designers, and implementation personnel supporting the Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series, Cisco® MDS 9000, and Cisco® ONS 15454 devices.
Prerequisites:
- Ability to configure, optimize, and scale dynamic routing protocols, including OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, and MPLS
- Understanding of STP, RSTP, PVST+
- Building Core Networks with BGP, OSPF, and MPLS (BCMPL)
- Metro Ethernet Switching Deployment Boot Camp (METSI)
- Knowledge of optical transport operations and protocols, including fiber optics, SONET, and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
- ONS 15454 and 15327 Test and Turn Up Boot Camp (ON454)
- Knowledge of server and mainframe operations, including TCP processing, IBM Fiber Connection (FICON), and Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON)
