What You Will Learn

  • Key configuration and troubleshooting concepts to prepare you for the Cisco CCNA Data Center DCICN 640-911 exam.

Who Should Take This Course

Anyone who wants to obtain their CCNA Data Center certification. This includes working engineers in the Enterprise space that want to expand their knowledge of Data Center concepts and technologies. Specifically, CCNA candidates who will use this product to prepare for the two required tests needed to earn the CCNA Data Center certification. CCNP, and CCIE Data Center candidates needing a first exposure to foundational knowledge will also be very interested in this product. IT managers in need of a quick understanding of Data Center concepts to better manage their engineering teams and engineers familiar with other vendors’ platforms, who wish to learn Cisco’s specific implementations of these technologies would also benefit from taking this course.

Course Requirements

The book assumes that the reader has the skills to navigate the user interface of a PC running any of the Microsoft OS’s, and that the reader has completed typical high school level math courses (mainly that they have been exposed to binary math). The book also assumes that they have used PCs connected to either a home network or a network inside a school or company, but that the reader may not understand anything about the network to which the PC was connected. It is also assumed that the reader know how to use typical Internet applications, primarily web browsers and email clients.
