The Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Operations and Troubleshooting (DCACIO) course is a unique opportunity for network professionals to deepen their understanding of application-centric infrastructure. This course offers a comprehensive mastery of management and monitoring tools like Cisco Nexus Dashboard and Nexus Dashboard Insights to ensure efficient and secure network operations.
Whether you’re a network engineer or a data center administrator, this program will enable you to manage complex environments with greater precision. You’ll learn to use installation, management, and troubleshooting tools while applying best practices to optimize your network infrastructure. Through real-world case studies and scenarios based on actual deployments, you will gain valuable expertise for your projects.
Network operations often divide into three key phases: Day-0 (pre-deployment), Day-1 (deployment), and Day-2 (post-deployment operations). The DCACIO training covers these phases with modules tailored to the needs of IT professionals. You’ll start with pre-deployment checklists and Cisco APIC hardware installation methods. Then, you’ll learn how to discover and configure the ACI fabric and manage firmware versions for a stable and secure environment.
On Day-2, advanced tools like Nexus Dashboard Insights will help you monitor the infrastructure and identify potential issues. You will also explore tools like the ELAM Assistant and Object Store Browser, which facilitate event analysis and root cause identification for network problems.
One of the keys to successful network management is proactive monitoring. This course will teach you how to use monitoring tools like SPAN, Syslog, and health scores to anticipate issues before they affect network performance. You will also learn how to configure snapshots and rollbacks to ensure operational continuity even in the event of system failures.
The course focuses on best practices, including naming conventions and endpoint learning optimizations, which are essential for maintaining scalable and well-managed infrastructure. You’ll also learn to integrate Cisco ACI with VMM environments and manage migrations smoothly without disrupting your operations.
In addition to theoretical modules, the DCACIO training includes several practical labs. These sessions will allow you to apply your knowledge in simulated environments and solve real-world problems. You will configure SNMP, explore the management information tree, and learn how to safeguard ACI operations using insights from Nexus Dashboard.
These labs will equip you with the skills needed to resolve performance and availability issues while improving the efficiency of your operations. This training program is ideal for network engineers looking to strengthen their expertise in managing complex infrastructures.
