Fabric Life Cycle with
Nokia Fabric Services System
Course number: OP00088
Course duration: 2 days (including lectures and hands-on lab exercises)
Price: €1,600
Course overview
This hands-on instructor-led course describes the purpose and capabilities of using the Nokia Fabric Services System to support intent-based automation for all phases of the data center fabrics (Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2+). It describes the use of Nokia certified templates to configure fabric intents and workload intents. Participants will make extensive use of the Fabric Services System and learn how to design, configure and deploy leaf/spine fabric intent, backbone intent, and workload intent in a digital sandbox. Participants will also verify the underlay connectivity and Layer 2/Layer 3 EVPN services in containerized SR Linux nodes.
