Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) Migration Fast Path (ACI-MFP)

   Description

The Cisco ACI Migration Fast Path is a three-day intensive implementation training course targeted at engineers who are familiar with Cisco Data Center solutions and have fundamental understanding of Cisco ACI solution.

The goal of this workshop is to provide engineers understanding of how to design, plan and implement migration to a Cisco ACI solution based on a migration case study. The case study is based on real-life existing data center environment (consisting of server infrastructure, virtualization platform, applications, data center services like security and load balancing, edge connectivity …) and is backed by hands-on lab activities.

The course will provide you enough insight information into Cisco ACI solution that you will be able to understand requirements and process of migrating existing Data Center to Cisco ACI based solution

   Objective

At the completion of the class students should be able to:

• Identify ACI solution prerequisites/requirements
• Define ACI global parameters, addressing, and policies
• Define and deploy ACI tenants, bridge domains, private networks, EPGs, application profiles and policies per requirements of an existing server/application environment
• Implement migration of server/application environment to a new ACI solution
• Define and deploy ACI configuration for fabric based security services
• Define and deploy ACI configuration for service appliances
• Define and deploy ACI configuration for edge connectivity (e.g. MAN, WAN, Internet; L2/L3 connectivity/routing)
• Understand ACI deployment over multiple sites (stretched fabric, multi-pod)
• Define and deploy ACI solution over 2 data centres

   Target Audience

This workshop is applicable to experienced engineers with Cisco Partners and Customers who are currently working with Cisco and non-Cisco data centre solution and seek ability to deploy Cisco ACI Solution and migrate their existing data centre environment.

   Pre-Requisite Knowledge

The knowledge and skills that a student must have before attending this course are as follows:

• Professional level knowledge of networking technologies
• Knowledge and understanding of leaf-spine network architecture
• Knowledge and understanding of VXLAN overlay networking
• Understanding Cisco ACI fabric fundamentals
• Understand ACI concepts and principles (tenants, bridge domains, private networks, EPGs, application profiles, policies)
• Professional level knowledge of server and server virtualization technologies
