MicroNugget: What is Cisco Data Center Architecture?

Start learning cybersecurity with CBT Nuggets. courses.cbt.gg/security
In this video, Anthony Sequeira covers why Cisco's preference in data center architecture is a layered model with access, aggregation and core layers. Designing networks with those layers enables redundancy, load balancing, and modularity - Anthony talks about each one's defining characteristics and what devices work best with them.
Although the DCUFI exam was retired in July, 2017, anyone who can think with Cisco's layered data center architecture can configure better networks. Some of each layer's characteristics overlap, like security and high availability, while others are unique to their layer, like QoS - but when the access layer, aggregation layer and core layer's functions are configured properly, a network runs better.
But understanding data center architecture is more than knowing the theory behind the layered architecture model: just as important is understanding how it can be manipulated by different devices and setups, like with the Nexus Single Tier Ethernet design or the Review Extended Fabric.

Hi Anthony, i want just to remind you that FHRP stands for First Hop |Redundancy| Protocol, Thank you Anthony, your explanation is modular, which make it easier for me to understand.

Solid

port security is used to permit mac addresses and deny mac addresses ,but if a person change the mac address of his computer,then port security will bypass the security violation made by the user with a specific mac address.
i need clarification regarding this

[@syf277]

Muhammad Lotfi Abbas probably more of the opposite, if the user changes mac they would not be allowed access.

From 16:45 you said that the term "aggregate" can be misunderstanded. can we replace it by "integrate"?.

[@g496r500t]

SU MIT yes mostly you can

[@eugenberzani1216]

misunderstood :P
