Requirements
Only basic routing and switching knowledge are required to get benefits from this course!
This course covers the L3 features and protocols from scratch.

Description
The CCIE Data Center - L3 Technologies course is designed to cover all L3 topics and features required in the CCIE Data Center v3.0 lab exam. Also, to provide a complete understanding of the OSPF & IS-IS routing protocol in Cisco Nexus platforms.Although this course targets network professionals and data center specialists, you only need to have basic networking knowledge to enroll in this course! The course explains the L3 technologies from scratch.This professional development and foundational learning course contains the following:High-quality, technical on-demand videos cover all required topics in the CCIE Data Center lab exam.Lab demos for a better explanation of all features learned in the course.Quizzes to confirm correct understanding.External resources to enrich your knowledge.Packet captures and protocol message formats for detailed information.Downloadable PDF slides for configuration reference and knowledge review.The lectures in this course were divided into six sections:Layer-3 Features and Tools: covers some important features and tools used in routing protocols and IP forwarding such as Prefix-lists, Route-maps, and VRF-lite.Policy-Based Routing: covers the policy-based routing feature, its usage, configuration, and verificationOSPF Protocol Fundamentals: covers all OSPF important fundamental topics, such as OSPF packet types, states, adjacencies, and basic configuration.OSPF Areas & LSA Types: covers OSPF areas and LSA types in depth. OSPF Route Manipulation & Policies: covers more advanced topics in OSPF, such as OSPF summarization, stub areas, path selection, and more.IS-IS Protocol Fundamentals: covers IS-IS fundamentals and explores how to configure IS-IS in NX-OS.

Who this course is for
Network engineers, designers, and consultants at all professional levels.
Candidates preparing for their CCIE Data Center v3.0 LAB or CCNP exams.
