Cisco Nexus Dashboard 4.1 (1g) Sandbox

Nexus Dashboard 4.1(1g) provides a fully unified management plane, integrating controller, orchestration, and observability services within a single, streamlined interface. This version introduces topology snapshots, allowing users to capture and compare fabric states, alongside enhanced role-based access control and per-fabric licensing for more flexible feature management. Monitoring capabilities are improved with advanced flow telemetry and real-time switch-level insights. The most significant enhancement in this release is the strengthened anomaly correlation across system layers, which, combined with support for new hardware platforms, delivers more efficient, centralized visibility and control across modern data center fabrics.

The goal of this sandbox lab is to provide a self-paced environment where you can explore and experiment freely. It is designed to build confidence, encourage independent learning, and deepen your understanding of the platform through hands-on practice without step-by-step guidance.
