This comprehensive, fast-paced training course is designed for advanced Cisco network administrators who want a comprehensive understanding of how to use VMware NSX™ in their enterprise. This course focuses on how to use the power of the NSX network virtualization and security platform. This course covers NSX as a part of the software-defined data center, implementation, use cases, features, and functionality operating at layer 2 through layer 7 of the OSI model. Data center network architectures are examined to demonstrate how NSX intersects with and virtualizes functions of a Cisco-based infrastructure in spine-leaf and traditional core-aggregate-access architectures. Lecture and hands-on lab activities support your understanding of NSX features, functionality, and on-going management and control.
This course requires a solid background in a Cisco-based infrastructure. If you do not have this background, you should take the NSX: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.0] course.
Objectives:
- Describe the evolution of the software-defined data center
- Describe how NSX is the next step in the evolution of the software-defined data center
- Describe Cisco Nexus and UCS products and features relevant to NSX
- Describe NSX layer 2 networking
- Configure, deploy, and use logical switch networks in a UCS environment
- Configure and deploy NSX distributed routers to establish East-West connectivity
- Configure and deploy VMware NSX Edge™ services gateway appliances to establish North-South connectivity
- Configure and use all the main features of the NSX Edge services gateway
- Configure NSX Edge firewall rules to restrict network traffic
- Configure NSX Distributed firewall rules to restrict network traffic
- Use role-based access to control user account privileges
