Overview

9+ Hours of video instruction

More than 9 hours of video instruction on standards-based Data Center Fabrics with VXLAN/BGP-EVPN.

Description

Cisco Programmable Fabric with VXLAN, BGP-EVPN is a unique video title designed to teach you everything you need to understand how Data Center Networks can be built with VXLAN and BGP-EVPN. Cisco has provided a complete solution based on this VXLAN Overlay. Recent efforts in the IETF have led to the addition of a standards-based BGP control-plane to amend flood-and-learn behavior from classic Layer 2 networks to achieve better efficiency and scale. This LiveLesson is designed to provide the fundamentals of understanding Cisco’s Programmable Fabric with its related components and makes you a VXLAN superstar.

Cisco Programmable Fabric with VXLAN, BGP-EVPN contains 10 individual video lessons divided into 46 sublessons, for a total of more than 9 hours of instruction. The videos consist of screencasts, audio instruction, and hands-on demos. Each video offers detailed explanations, tips, and configuration verifications.

The 10 video lessons cover the following topics:

Lesson 1: Introduction to Programmable Fabric

Lesson 2: Introducing VXLAN/EVPN

Lesson 3: Programmable Fabric—Forwarding

Lesson 4: The Underlay

Lesson 5: Unicast Forwarding

Lesson 6: Multitenancy

Lesson 1: Introduction to Programmable Fabric

Lesson 1 covers today's Data Center challenges, the Data Center network evolution, an overview of the Programmable Fabric and the road to an Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). This lesson also touches base on the Fabric roles and terminologies, its properties, and end-host connectivity options.

Lesson 2: Introducing Programmable Fabric (VXLAN/EVPN)

Lesson 2 introduces the Virtual eXtensible LAN (VXLAN) and what we are doing with the Segment ID. This lesson features a walkthrough of the BGP-EVPN control-plane and highlights how end-hosts and networks are distributed among the control-plane. Host detection, deletion, and move are also part of this lesson.

Lesson 3: Programmable Fabric—Forwarding

Lesson 3 reviews the forwarding concept of the Programmable Fabric. The lesson explains how both multidestination traffic and ARP are handled. Further, the lesson provides a detailed look at integrated routing and bridging and how distributed routing works with an IP Anycast Gateway.

Lesson 4: The Underlay

Lesson 4 focuses on the IP Underlay Network. The lesson begins with a discussion of underlay and IP addressing considerations, and continues with examples of unicast and multicast routing. The lesson concludes with multicast-related deployment details.

Lesson 5: Unicast Forwarding

Lesson 5 is all about unicast forwarding with VXLAN and BGP-EVPN. We go through the general unicast forwarding concepts and look at inter- and intra-subnet forwarding. The lesson concludes with details about forwarding with Dual-Homed End-Point (vPC), as well as IPv6 handling.

Lesson 7: Multicast Forwarding

Lesson 7 introduces multicast forwarding in general and illustrates how Layer 2 multicast works with and without vPC.

Lesson 8: External Connectivity

Lesson 8 discusses the basics of external connectivity, beginning with a review of various connectivity options including vPC, VRF-lite, LISP, and MPLS. The lesson concludes with a discussion of inter-Fabric connectivity.

Lesson 9: Layer 4-7 Services Integration

Lesson 9 covers Layer 4-7 services integration topics including firewalls and load balancers. The lesson reviews how tenant-edge and intra-tenant firewalls are deployed, and how load balancing and service chaining can be integrated.

Lesson 10: Introducing Programmable Fabric Management, Operations, and Provisioning
