Cisco ACI Advanced Workshop -Deployment, Operation & Troubleshooting (ACI-Advanced)

The following is a summary of the class outline to be covered in the tailored ACI advanced class. The extent of content in each area is to be further refined.
The order of topics below will be the order of delivery. Timing and course flow will not be precise and will be subject to participants existing knowledge and interaction. It is felt that there will potentially be more material than can be delivered so more important and relevant topics should be covered first with later topics covered if time permits.
Class synchronization is difficult when there is a large lab component in remote deliveries. This is due to the different work rates of participants. It may be expected that some labs and hands on exercises are completed outside of class times.
Housley will make the lab resources available 24/7 for the duration of the course.
