The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.
Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1
This lab is the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1, and after completion, the student can launch Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 to complete the entire lab. The lab uses the ACI virtual simulator based on ACI Version 6.1(3f), emulating an APIC, 2 leafs, and a spine. Part 2 uses a shared physical ACI fabric to complete the policy and verify data plane connectivity.
The ACI Virtual Simulator was needed to demo the building of the ACI fabric from scratch, bootstrapping the APIC, adding the spine and leafs, fabric discovery, and completing VMM integration. Since the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab, Part 2 is a shared on-demand environment, to decouple the APIC build process from the APIC policy creation. Due to limitations, the virtual ACI fabric is a control plane-only simulator, and no data plane testing (Ping, SSH) can get done for validation. Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 uses a Tenant inside of a physical ACI, and data plane functionality can get tested ( Ping, SSH)

Gartner's new reference architecture elevates network-level telemetry to a strategic necessity, emphasizing its role in enhancing service-level observability and security. By integrating network-derived insights, organizations can make faster decisions, reduce risks, and ensure resilient digital services, transforming telemetry from an afterthought to a foundational architectural element.
Partner POV | What Is Lateral Movement in Cybersecurity?
Lateral movement in cybersecurity allows attackers to stealthily navigate networks post-breach, escalating privileges and accessing sensitive data. This technique transforms minor breaches into major threats. Understanding and preventing lateral movement through deep network visibility, Zero Trust, and least privilege access is crucial for safeguarding organizational assets.
