About this learning path
The Cisco ACI: Tenant & Fabric Connectivity learning path is the second part of our ACI fundamentals training, following the "Cisco ACI Fabric Initialization and Hypervisor Connectivity" path.
This path covers two key areas:
1) Fabric Infrastructure configurations, which involve physical fabric setup, including vPCs, VLANs, loop prevention, underlay BGP protocol, etc.
2) Tenant Configurations, defining logical constructs like application profiles, bridge domains, and EPGs.
In this Learning Path, students will learn to create Tenants, Application Profiles, Bridge domains, and EPGs, by using objects for connectivity within a physical ACI fabric. They will also discover how to connect Layers 2 and 3 to external networks and explore methods for segmentation using contracts and filters to support both Inter-EPG and Intra-EPG segmentation.
