What you’ll learn

The Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Design (DCACID) course is a comprehensive 5-day training program. It equips participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to comprehend and leverage a programmable fabric design based on Cisco Nexus® 9000 Series Switches operating in Application-Centric Infrastructure (ACI) mode. This training delves deeply into Cisco ACI design principles, covering considerations and recommended practices. The goal is to empower participants to construct robust ACI solutions and steer clear of common pitfalls that could impact network infrastructure. By focusing on a range of design use cases, the course offers valuable insights for making informed design decisions, validating designs, and implementing best practices when deploying Cisco ACI in multiservice or cloud data centers.
What to expect in the exam
Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI 300-620) is a 90- minute exam that is associated with the CCNP Data Center Certification. This exam certifies a candidate’s knowledge of Cisco switches in ACI mode including configuration, implementation, and management.
