The Configuring Cisco Nexus 7000 Switches (DCNX7K) v3.0 course is a 5-day ILT training program that is designed for systems and field engineers who install and implement Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches. This course covers the key components and procedures you need to know to configure, manage, and troubleshoot the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch platform.
Configuring Cisco Nexus 7000 Switches (DCNX7K) v3.0 prepares you for implementing a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches in the data center solution.
This update to the course will include coverage of new features introduced in Cisco NX-OS 6.2 and will also include introductory coverage of Cisco Nexus Series Switches.
A certification exam is not associated with this course, and Channel Partner deployment engineers will use this training as augmentation to the DCUFI course material to provide indepth experience in implementing the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches features.
The course focuses on the product hardware, its architecture, key features, and market differentiators, with extensive feature configuration and hands on labs.
After completing this course the student should be able to:
Identify the specific products that make up the Cisco Nexus product families and provide a high level overview of their features and common deployment models.
You will also be able to recognize the advanced data center class features and functionality of the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch. Common network
architectures implemented using the products and features of the Cisco Nexus
product family will also be presented.
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch hardware components, like the chassis,
supervisor, and line cards, determine the device features and role in data center architecture. In this module, you will learn to identify the chassis and components of the Cisco Nexus 7000 Switch. You will also describe the Cisco Nexus 7000 and 7700 Series packet flow, and the VOQ operation.
