Trainingsbeschrijving

Naar boven

SDAACI is a 4-day course that covers SD-Access and ACI fabric deployments and subsequent pairwise integration. The integration covers the policy plane synchronization between Cisco ISE, DNAC, and the Cisco APIC controller. This allows for a seamless Secure Group Tags (SGTs) to End Point Groups (EPG) mapping, thereby stretching the micro-segmentation from the user all the way to the hosted application.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
