Using DevOps Tools with Cisco ACI

This course is eligible for Continuous Learning Credits.

In this course, you will learn how to use DevOps tools for a common data center integration scenario. You will practice using the most popular tools on a Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) for a classical data center integration. While configuring the ACI fabric, you will have the opportunity to use and compare various DevOps tools. Hands-on labs will teach you how to use Postman and Python to create, modify, and upload scripts. You will also use GitHub to download existing policies and to back up policies that you create in order to help you quickly perform configuration tasks. Additionally, you will learn how to use Visore and API inspector to troubleshoot. By the end of this course, you will be able to prepare a switch Fabric for data center integration.

MENPI- Managing Enterprise Networks with Cisco Prime Infrastructure v3.0

In this course, you will learn how to design, deploy, operate, and optimize enterprise networks with the Cisco Prime Infrastructure solution (PI). Cisco Prime Infrastructure is part of a Unified Access solution that converges traditional wired and wireless networks into a single network management tool. The labs, which have been recently updated, put you in a realistic customer scenario and let you practice what you learned using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.0. This course network management perspective has a heavier lean to the wired side of the network management.

Note: For the classroom version of this course, laptops are provided for your participation in the hands-on labs. If you desire to use your own laptop, please bring a laptop computer with an Ethernet port as well as an internal wireless NIC, 802.11a/b/g/n. Access to the remote labs requires a browser that supports Java(R) and permissions to open RDP or encrypted (RDP443) RDP sessions. If your browser does not support Java, you will need administrator rights to the laptop to install software.

CIPTV1 – Implementing Cisco IP Telephony & Video Part 1 v1.0

This hands-on course prepares you for implementing a Cisco collaboration solution in a single-site environment.

Focusing primarily on Cisco Unified Communications Manager v10.x, you will learn post-installation tasks, such as configuring users and associating them with phones, as well as more advanced topics such as dial plan design and configuration, single site on-cluster and off-cluster calling, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), H.323 call signaling, SIP trunks, audio and video conferencing, QoS, and media resources. In addition, you will use the Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) with SIP Trunks.

With the increasing importance of video and video conferencing, you will also learn the configuration tasks for audio and video conference bridges, Cisco TelePresence conferencing products (including TelePresence Server, TelePresence MCU, and TelePresence Conductor). The dial plan lessons are enhanced with URI dialing for endpoints.
