Cisco ICSNS Training Class- Implementing Cisco Storage Networking Solutions 4.2 for Certification Course
 Learn essential skills to deploy Cisco MDS 9000 Family SAN switches.
This course gives you the essential knowledge and skills that you need to deploy Cisco MDS 9000 Family SAN switches.
You will learn to install and bring up the switch, configure Virtual SANs (VSANs), domains, interfaces, and zones, implement PortChannels, configure
management security, and perform basic troubleshooting. You will also learn how to configure highly available FCIP tunnels and tune the performance of your FCIP links.
In the labs, you will configure the switch from an out-of-the-box state, perform a non-disruptive software upgrade, configure VSANs and zones, and implement a
high-availability SAN design that includes SAN extension with the FCIP protocol.
