Cisco Nexus One
Episode Summary
In this episode, we dive into one of Cisco’s newest and most important announcements in the world of data centers: Cisco Nexus One —
the next-generation switching platform designed to make the integration between ACI, EVPN, and VXLAN simpler, more flexible, and more intelligent.
In this video, we explore five key topics:
? 1. A look at the evolution of SDN in Cisco data centers
How did we move from traditional architectures to ACI, and now to Nexus One?
? 2. Introducing a new role in ACI: the ACI Border Gateway
What does this new component do, and which challenges does it solve?
? 3. Deep dive into the architecture of Cisco Nexus One
A breakdown of the ASIC, fabric, pipeline, and Nexus One’s position in future data center networks.
? 4. Understanding VXLAN connectivity between EVPN and ACI
How do these two technologies interact and integrate?
? 5. Examining Policy models between ACI and EVPN
What’s the difference between Policy-Unaware and Policy-Aware, and when is each used?
If you work with Cisco ACI, EVPN, VXLAN, or data center design, this episode is for you.
