Course Overview
The Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) v1.2 Course delivers comprehensive, hands-on training in deploying and managing Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) using Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in ACI mode. Participants learn to configure and operate ACI fabrics, connect to external networks, integrate with virtualization platforms such as Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), and implement core ACI policies and constructs. The curriculum aligns with the Cisco 300-620 DCACI certification objectives and supports preparation for both the Cisco Certified Specialist – Data Center ACI Implementation and CCNP Data Center pathways.
