Advanced Data Center Switching (ADCX) Course Overview

Advanced Data Center Switching (ADCX) Course Overview

The Advanced Data Center Switching (ADCX) course is a specialized training program designed to equip learners with the skills needed to understand and implement advanced switching technologies in modern data centers. Addressing contemporary data center challenges, the course delves into the capabilities of the QFX5100 Series Switches, providing system overviews and architectural insights to overcome these challenges.

From the ground up, participants will learn about Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and its practical applications, In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) procedures, and the deployment of Multichassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG). The course also covers Mixed Virtual Chassis configuration and management, Virtual Chassis Fabric technologies, and their respective management tools.

Troubleshooting forms a significant part of the curriculum, with dedicated modules for multichassis LAG and Virtual Chassis technologies. As data centers evolve, the course also introduces learners to Next Generation Data Centers, IP Fabric principles, VXLAN overlays, EVPN protocols, and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) strategies, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements in data center networking. The ADCX course is not only informative but also practical, with a focus on real-world scenarios and hands-on experience.
