DCIT - Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure v7.1

The Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCIT) training shows you how to troubleshoot LAN, SAN, Cisco Data Center Unified Fabric, Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS ), and Cisco Application-Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI ). You will learn methodologies and tools to identify issues that may occur in data center network architecture. You will get extensive hands-on practice troubleshooting installation, configuration, and interconnectivity issues on Cisco Multilayer Director Switch (MDS) switches, Cisco Nexus switches, Cisco Fabric Extenders (FEXs), Cisco UCS, and Cisco ACI.

This training prepares you for 300-615 DCIT exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist Data Center Operations certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Data Center certification.

This training also earns you 50 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
