Cisco Nexus Dashboard 4.1 Fundamentals Lab
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.

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Intermediate
This intermediate learning path on Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is tailored for network professionals who are ready to move beyond the basics and develop a deeper, more practical understanding of OSPF in enterprise networks. The path explores key deployment and optimization techniques including route redistribution between OSPF and other protocols, effective route summarization at ABRs and ASBRs, and implementing route filtering to control routing information flow. It also covers OSPF area types in detail, including standard stub areas, totally stubby areas, and Not-So-Stubby Areas (NSSA), with guidance on when and how to use each to simplify routing and improve scalability. Throughout, the learning path emphasizes best practices, common design mistakes to avoid, and hands-on configuration strategies to help learners confidently apply OSPF in complex, real-world environments.
