CCNP Data Center 350-601 Cisco Study Notes

 In Cisco UCS Central, user privileges are managed through roles and locales. When a user moves departments, their access privileges need to be updated to reflect their new role. By creating a new locale for the Admin department and adding the user to this locale, the user’s access privileges are updated to include the Admin department’s data and applications. The old Finance locale should be deleted, or the user should be removed from it, to revoke the previous access privileges1.

 In a Cisco ACI fabric, when implementing a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) domain, VLANs can be allocated dynamically or statically within a VLAN pool. To incorporate a static VLAN into a dynamic VLAN pool, the correct approach is to add a static VLAN allocation range to the VLAN pool. This allows for the specific VLAN to be reserved and used consistently for certain applications or services, while still maintaining the flexibility of dynamic allocation for other VLANs within the pool.

Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) is designed to help manage all NX-OS network deployments, which includes LAN fabrics, SAN fabrics, and IP Fabric for Media (IPFM) networking in the data center. DCNM provides prebuilt templates that can be used to customize fabric deployments, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient setup process. These templates include best-practice policy templates for Easy Fabric Mode and support for Python scripting for more complex policy templates, facilitating the customization and automation of fabric deployments.
