Overview
12+ hours of video instruction on NX-OS technologies and configuration

Descripton
NX-OS Configuration Fundamentals LiveLessons is a unique video product that provides a solid understanding of NX-OS technologies across five product families. The product takes the student from an introduction to the product families and operating system, to Layer 2 and 3 capabilities before moving on to multicast and security. High availability, unique embedded serviceability features, and Unified Fabric and the Nexus 1000v are covered. Finally, QoS, OTV, MPLS, and LISP conclude the lessons. The most current updates in products and technologies have been incorporated, including OTV VLAN translation, L2 MPLS VPNs, LISP IGP assist, FabricPath multi-topology, and anycast HSRP, among many others.

NX-OS Configuration Fundamentals LiveLessons contains 13 individual video lessons, subdivided into 88 sublessons, for a total of 12 hours of instruction. The videos consist of audio instruction, animations, and video screencasts. Each video lab presents detailed objectives, lab diagrams, and video captures. Audio instruction throughout offers detailed explanations, tips, and configuration verifications.

The 13 video lessons cover the following topics:
* Introduction to NX-OS
* Layer 2 Support and Configurations
* Layer 3 Support and Configurations
* IP Multicast Configuration
* Security
* High Availability
* Embedded Serviceability Features
