| Overview: | 
The Cisco Nexus 1000V is a virtual switch
that resides within the VMware ESX Server
instance and provides operations and
management consistency with existing Cisco
Nexus and Catalyst switches.
The Nexus 1000V leverages the VN-Link
specification, together with VMwares
vNetwork Distributed Switch (DVS)
framework, to offer tightly integrated network
services as part of a comprehensive Data
Center server virtualization strategy.
This 2-day course provides you with an indepth
look at the design and configuration
process for the Cisco Nexus 1000V.
This course includes hands-on labs in which
you will configure a VMware infrastructure,
configure the Nexus 1000V and demonstrate
policy mobility during virtual machine
migration.
