Why take this course?

Get to know Cisco ACI with your instructor, Jason Lunde, a certified CCIE in both Data Center and Routing and Switching. In this initial series we will not overwhelm you with information, but rather strive get you accustomed to ACI, how it operates, and how to actually do the work within the APIC GUI! This is about 9 hours worth of ACI goodness! If you are preparing for the DC v2 exam, this will be the perfect series to obtain the information that you will need to know in order to be successful in the lab examination (within the scope of ACI).

You will learn more about:
• SDN (Software-defined Networking)
• VXLAN
• ACI Components
o Spine and Leaf Switches
o APIC Controllers

Unlike most traditional courses, I will take you through the implementation of an ACI infrastructure from a real-world perspective. You will learn most of the terminology associated with Cisco’s ACI, as well as the basic networking constructs such as bridge domains and contexts.

Most implementation are not going to be ‘strictly ACI’ either, so I take you though how to extend layer-2 and layer-3 out of, and through the ACI domain. This includes using some of our favorite protocols such as BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, and vPC!

Note: My course is developed using ACI 1.2(x) release.

Videos and explanation are not clear both quality and layout. Its hard to follow this instructor when hes going very fast while doing the configs. Also not showing the diagram while doing the configs was making things worse. Plus his head was blocking the screen for majority of the time so I wasn't able to see some of the writing he was making on the screen and the material in this course is very outdated.

It is a great course, very well explained and I was able to follow and understand all the concepts. But ii is outadated. ACI Apics are using v1, while now days we have v6. Would love to see an updated version of this course

A good overview of Cisco ACI with some solid examples both physical and virtual, a good overview of spine and leaf configurations, contracts, and some great examples of finding routes with CDP. A little inadvertent troubleshooting is a great part of the training, it's good to see the troubleshooting steps and verification of the leaf node, AEP profiles and vswitch configuration, goodness knows I have fought with vswitches before.

Love your work. You're a diamond in the rough. Couldn't find any decent training courses on this platform until I saw yours. You explain it very clearly and engage your listeners. So happy that I found you.

I had issues learning the ACI. I attended a few courses but was still not getting it. This course has made it easy and clear how the multiple components fit together. I am glad that I took this course and recommend it to others.

Lacks structure. Most Lessons end in messy whiteboard pages instead of actual presentation slides. The course is not really separated into sections. Jason doesn't care to retake or even just cut out parts where he has technical problems or loses track.

You make those topics too much easier to understand for people like me with too many years doing things in the traditional (legacy) way.

I'm an old school network engineer. Like Jason said in the video I need to change my mindset. This video sounds like leading to the topic I really want to discuss. Looking forward to hearing deeper explore on how ACI is different and a more efficient approach to modern network.
