The Cisco NEXUS Dashboard 4.1 Fundamentals lab is a virtual environment hosted inside WWT's ATC. To access the environment, launch the lab, and the virtual application and simulated hardware will be reserved for the duration. Once the lab is reserved, credentials and remote access information will be supplied to access a jump box into the lab environment. A lab guide explores everyday NEXUS Dashboard administrative tasks, including backup, remote storage, software upgrades, and managing the platform, which are all included in the lab. The base lab is designed to introduce students to the Nexus Dashboard, explicitly focusing on the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the latest 4.1 release. This lab is ideal for individuals new to the Nexus Dashboard or who have not yet explored the latest features. The lab environment includes a 3-node Nexus Dashboard cluster with pre-installed NEXUS Insights (NI). The Nexus Dashboard has been prepopulated with online data, and snapshot sites are preconfigured to facilitate using NEXUS Insights in subsequent exercises. The primary goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the Nexus Dashboard GUI, helping students become familiar with its functionalities and features.
