Virtual Server Networking for VMware Engineers (VSN-VE) v1.1
|
1 day
|
Lecture/lab
|
| Course description |
One of the major barriers to widespread adoption of server virtualization in the Enterprise Data Center today is the challenge of coordinating provisioning of virtual machines with network resources. The emerging VN-Link specification for virtual switching was designed to ensure consistent, policy-based administration of physical and virtual servers.
The Cisco Nexus 1000V leverages the VN-Link specification, together with VMware's vNetwork Distributed Switch framework, to offer tightly integrated network services as part of a comprehensive Data Center virtualization strategy. The Nexus 1000V provides operations and management consistency with existing Cisco Nexus and Catalyst switches.
This 1-day course provides an overview of the features and capabilities of VN-Link and the Cisco Nexus 1000V, including a hands-on lab in which you will configure the Nexus 1000V and demonstrate policy mobility during virtual machine migration.
Note: This course is specifically designed for VMware engineers. It includes a high-level overview of access-layer networking concepts and technologies. If you are a network engineer, please see the Virtual Server Networking for Network Engineers (VSN-NE) course instead. If you are a network engineer and looking for a more in-depth training that includes more coverage of VMware technologies, please see the Implementing and Configuring the Cisco Nexus 1000V (ICNX1V) course.
