How Devices Connect to the Fabric: Understanding Cisco ACI Domains

[@itsshowtime6412]

She is a genious! I was here for a simple understanding of ACI for my CCNA R&S, but damn this is very broadly explained. I respect this woman and hope to reach the knowledge she has one day at Cisco. Good video!

[@Ruchikun]

they expain aci in ccna r&s nowadays? Or just like a 1 paragraph mentioning ?

[@darylallen2485]

I tried to watch this back in 2015, 2016, 2017 and could not for the life of me understand it. I was an enterprise network engineer, didn't really work with DC technologies like vSphere, storage, nexus switches. Now I'm studying for CCNP Datacenter and work with VMware NSX on a daily basis. All of this makes sense now. Its crazy to me that this tech existed in 2015 and she has such a strong command of the architecture. I think I'm just in awe and having a moment when you understand something clearly that you did not understand previously. I'm even watching it at 1.75 speed and following everything.

[@maduraeleperuma8830]

I absolutely love this video. Not only because how clearly and cleanly she explained the architecture with practical examples. But the guys in then audience asked all the questions that were popping on my mind as I was watching this. It's as if I was represented in the class. Just awesome. And I was blown away when I realised allnthiswas explained and discussed in such a casual flow in only 30min. Clean and precise 👌👏👏👏👏👏

[@rajukumarjha3]

This video is a good example that if you make any training interactive then it is really fun learning. I do appreciate the audience participation here. They are good. Instructor is too good.

[@chinu0706]

I know that i am already very late but i found this video very informative. The lady whos it all and the way she handle queries of expert is very admirable. She knows what she is doing.

[@juggyvplacetobe7679]

That is the neatest whiteboard I have ever seen! Having just learnt about SD Access I thought I better brush up on this also. I think I need to watch it a couple of times to ensure I understand it all.

[@emiliopalma9272]

We definitely need more women like this in our IT department. :)

[@aakashvid]

Never had such a pretty lady teach me CISCO stuff :) Jokes apart ..... really a great Video , best explanation of ACI on KZbin yet (y)

[@AnaLopez-ip8iw]

Excellent presentation Carly, 99% of the woman in IT I have worked with, from my personal experience have been much smarter and better prepared than the guys ... keep up the good work ..

[@daisyypoon]

I need to refresh some of my technical concepts, I google about Switched Fabric and it took me here. I certainly enjoying see fellow female engineer training a group of men.

[@incrediblestevrhymz2260]

Lol.....seriously, i had to watch it because it was female instructor, and damn, she really knows the aci technology and networking concepts very well.....nothing turns me on like a woman thats technical...lol

[@mohdnajib4812]

The explanation of the fundamental ACI was really clear. Hopefully, I will be able to become an expert in this field in the future. Najib BSN (Malaysia)

[@feedbrain6257]

Hi, about ARP request, when the destination MAC is unknown, the switch leave use COOP aka Council Of Oracle Protocol to send the request to any spine choose randomly in the fabric, The spine switch (oracle) that was chosen then relays this information to all the other spines (oracles) so that every spine (oracle) has a complete record of every end point in the system. The spines (oracles) record the information learned via the COOP in the Global Proxy Table, and this information is used to resolve unknown destination MAC/IP addresses when traffic is sent to the Proxy address.

[@UngaBunga1966]

Great stuff. Carly, thanks for the excellent explanation. Your GK courses were very helpful in 7K, kudos!

[@carlystoughton4385]

Gregory Cave Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed! Anything puzzling I can ponder on for another video?

[@izharkazmi]

Fabulous explanation. Questions from participants were quick intelligent, and clarifying doubts.

[@rikherlaar]

Real good..the first time I see someone explain VMM Domain to VSphere DataCenter mapping properly ...

Carly, 10/10. Outstanding. Very well explained.

I agree sir!

[@rupeshmishra9]

[@henrybernard2591]

Thanks for the great class. I'm watching this in concert with INE videos, it may take me a while to turn creating a VLAN via the CLI into this ACI flowchart in my head :-). This helps

[@avi2123]

Excellent explanation.

Sad douche...the guy, not you.

[@meynoush535]

I believe that Mr. multiple question sent that question about Dual home network to this dude, via a DM or something, probably because he wanted to question Carly again but not becoming the initiator. Wished men were more supportive in IT industry. Sighhhh...

[@qwerty69600]

Cringe. Dunno why he's being a douche like that.

[@marcushallam5486]

The Eye candy didn't bring me here, but she certainly made me stay, following Carly on twitter now, omg, eye... good knowledge too which definitely goes without saying.

[@shishsquared]

Going through classes to prepare for my CCNA right now and searched "Cisco" for the fun of it. This came up and I thought I'd be able to understand it. 2 minutes in and nope. This is a bit beyond that level. Hope to someday understand though

[@danycock8493]

how do you keep your self soo fit.

[@infomaniac_mit]

@29:16 neither inter Area nor intra Area as OSPF-->MP-BGP-->OSPF so routes would be external E1/E2 routes!!

[@AlexeyTsapaev]

can I have servers in the same EPG and part of them are in VMM domain and the rest are bare metal? Is thhat possible?

[@carlystoughton4385]

Yes, absolutely. Different domains can easily be part of the same EPG.

[@carlystoughton4385]

Yep!

[@renss78]

Where did she just talk about?

[@ryanrobinson1987]

man im glad you are not my teacher! Cause your fine!

[@kracksmith4ejm1]

this is 5 years ago, has it taken off yet?

[@jizast]

:D

[@rikherlaar]

@ 27:00 - OSPF adjacency over vPC - this is not entirely correct as explained - from the connected router or FW (despite the fact vPC is configured between the two relevant leafs at the ACI side) - perspective there's 2 neighbors - so for that matter your SNM should match a larger b/c domain. One would think the peering could be a /31 but that''s not the case - This is no big deal BTW but took us by surprise back then.

[@infomaniac_mit]

Yes /31 not suffice the requirement, you would have ospf neighbor between VPC peer and both VPC peer to external device

[@dongfengz4917]

Does anyone know, why we have to connect the router to the leafs rather than the spines?

[@dlambert1988]

Think of spine and leaf as a a disaggregated chassis. The spines are the backplane and the leafs are the line cards. Spines are only to be used to connect other leafs. Cisco does break this rule with data center inter-connectivity however.

[@sosanto20]

Awesome,,,

[@icr12345]

link for download the pack?

[@greentechrevolution]

very nice...............

[@johnny-mnemonic13]

Her right?

[@rikherlaar]

29:50 -> provided we're in 2016 post Brazos and we now do support transit routing across the fabric - and we'd peer with two independent OSPF routers (say over different border pairs for the sake of simplicity) - the respective redistributed routes would I presume show as E1 or E2 upon redistribution from iBGP back into OSPF on the other router or can we emulate some form of OSPF backbone and stick to Inter Area or Intra Area routes ?

[@infomaniac_mit]

E1 or E2 routes upon redistribution not intra/inter area

[@dean4545]

Like for the teacher!

[@meynoush535]

27:00 Thank to HSRP vPC we can have active-active connection and from router's perspective the leafs look like only one logical box and since we're going to use vIP there wouldn't be any more problem.

The guy at 6:21 is your typical "know it all" who cant let the instructor go through the MATERIAL ONCE THEN ASK QUESTIONS. he interrupts her so much - he should probably go home and teach himself from the Cisco Live PDF's, SRND's and CLI like i do... Jeez

[@dyhs2006]

That guy is Ivan Pepelnjak. There's a good chance that he does 'know it all' www.ipspace.net/About_Ivan_Pepelnjak

[@iverson2k10]

hahahaha it's true! lmao those people are soo entitled and even if they do "Know it all" let the presenter present their material accordingly and take notes to ask questions later!

[@rikherlaar]

Yes , I hear you and i agree that this "spiel" is sometimes highly irritating but Ivan just tried to pry a bit more details and context IMO - and FWIW, the guy is really a legend and earned his salt over the past decades...so that comes with a level of self consciousness I reckon...;-)
