Deploy ACI Multi-Site Fabric
Cisco's ACI Anywhere vision is to allow a single security and connectivity policy with a single pane of glass to manage all multicloud environments. The key to ACI Anywhere is the ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator (MSO), which allows the administrator to create consistent security and connectivity policies across multiple physical, virtual and cloud-based sites.
This series of four on-demand lab modules will go through all the steps necessary to bring up an ACI Multi-Site environment from scratch and is divided into modules so it is easier for students to consume.
6 Steps to Understanding Cisco ACI
WWT has been working with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) since the first alpha and beta codes and taught thousands of customers on how to understand and deploy ACI. Through various discussions since its launch, we've helped organizations navigate the specifics and conclude whether ACI is right for the business. We've come up with an easy guide to help organizations understand the technical aspects of ACI. This guide provides the six steps can help network engineers new to ACI understand the basic concepts.
Cisco Tetration v3.3 Lab
This lab will guide you through how this powerful host-based segmentation solution addresses the most critical segmentation day-to-day tasks:
- Discovery: Establish business context through scopes and annotations. Collect traffic and perform Application Dependency Mapping.
- Policy Enforcement: Take the results of the Application Dependency Mapping and apply towards segmentation policy.
- Operations: See how Tetration monitors policy compliance. Review how to apply incoming policy change requests. Browse the most common Tetration visualizations.
