NX-OS Configuration Fundamentals LiveLessons

11+ Hours of video instruction

More than 11 hours of video instruction on NX-OS technologies and configuration, including Layer 2 and Layer 3, Multicast, Security, LISP, MPLS, United Fabric and more.

Description

NX-OS Configuration Fundamentals LiveLessons is a unique video product that provides a solid understanding of NX-OS technologies across five product families. The video lessons guide the viewer from an introduction to the product families and operating system, through Layer 2 and 3 capabilities, before delving into multicast and security. Next, the lessons examine high availability, unique embedded serviceability features, Unified Fabric, and the Nexus 1000v. The final lessons cover QoS, Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV), Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and Locator ID Separator Protocol (LISP).

NX-OS Configuration Fundamentals LiveLessons contains 13 individual video lessons, divided into 94 sub-lessons, for a total of nearly 12 hours of instruction. The videos consist of audio instruction, animations, and video screencasts. Each video lab presents detailed objectives, lab diagrams, and video captures. Audio instruction throughout offers detailed explanations, tips, and configuration verifications.

The 13 video lessons cover the following topics:
--Lesson 1: Introduction to NX-OS
