Administering Cisco Unified Communications Manager (ACUCM) is a 4-day training program that provides system administrators and networking professionals with an understanding of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System. The Cisco IT training course teaches the concepts of IP telephony based in system administration, including its function, features, and configuration. This is an entry-level IP telephony course that begins with the basic concepts of IP telephony and very quickly moves the learner forward into an understanding of system concepts: clustering, creation of phones and users, route plans, digit manipulation, media resources, and phone features, which are all important to supporting IP telephony in the enterprise network. The course focuses on Cisco Unified Communications Manager version v12.x.

The course is geared to individuals that will be using and managing the system and performing administration for Level 1 and Level 2 support. Level 1 support is geared toward supporting phone users and making moves, adds, and changes to the desktop phone environment. Level 2 support is oriented to supporting changes in the organization, such as opening new office locations or relocating departments. The Cisco training course does not cover issues of initial deployment, new cluster deployment or international deployments. Also, the course does not cover issues with the underlying network that involve routers, switches, or Cisco IOS software configuration.

This information technology course includes various lab exercises to apply what was learned in each preceding lesson. Labs begin with a newly installed publisher and subscriber. The only element that is pre-configured is two MGCP gateways, for the headquarters (HQ) and branch (BR), and an intercluster trunk pointing to the neighbor’s pod. Therefore, the student will become familiar with all the various concepts through configuration of the elements in the lab environment.

Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly Cisco DNA Center) enables programmable interactions and integrations through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and event notifications. This feature allows network administrators and developers to build custom integrations, automate tasks, and enhance network operations within the platform. By leveraging programmability in Catalyst Center, users can extend the functionality of the platform, achieve innovation, business agility, and improved visibility across their network infrastructure by creating custom solutions tailored to their specific needs, driving operational efficiency within their network environments.

CATCPF (Cisco Catalyst Center Programmability Integration Fundamentals) is a 3-day, instructor-led, Cisco Catalyst Center course that will help you to become familiar with programmable infrastructure concepts and integrations that support Catalyst Center and the Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series switch programming. In this course you will learn about production solutions that run on or interact with IOS-XE on the Catalyst 9000 switches and with Software Defined Access fabrics as well.

This 5-day class on Nexus Dashboard covers data center and campus operations with VXLAN and EVPN, then dives into Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) to deploy and manage VXLAN and EVPN.

Introduction to Cisco SD-Access and Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center) offer Cisco’s nextgeneration programmable digital network to help automate common network access security features and streamline the redundant, complex configuration required to allow different groups of users access to the network infrastructure.

This 2-day network security training course allows network administrators to quickly allow differentiated access for end users on the network while allowing the network to react automatically to day zero and other types of attacks using integration with Cisco ISE for Policy Enforcement with Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center).
