How Devices Connect to the Fabric: Understanding Cisco ACI Domains 

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!

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.

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 👌👏👏👏👏👏

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

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.

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.

that's a great video explaining ACI terminology and basics. i need more of those :)

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.

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

Awesome.. This Video made my DAY !!! Thanks :)

Great presentation with a lot of useful information. Thanks for the content.

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

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 ..

Excellent explanation! I'm rather new to this but fantastic job and video.

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)

Nice videos Carly Stoughton Seen white board in this kind of forum after very long time

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.

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.

this indeed is a very useful and helpul video, am impressed and learn more. Keep it up

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

Nice helpful information about network .Thanks Carly

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

Thank you for your comprehensive presentation

Excellent explanation.

i enjoy her teachings

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

Awesome Video and Presentation. Looking for more learning on ACI. Please share the study material details you mentioned in Video.

Waaoowwwwww !! What a field day out there !!!

beautiful topic and presenter...

Well explained Carly.

Nice technnical stuff .. it is best video

Great movie, easy to understand. The first gentleman to ask questions seems very familiar. Did i see him on some dave bomball movies ?

She connected all my fabrics, that's for sure!

Awesome ACI White boarding from a really hot trainer :) +Carly Stoughton can you also do a session on Fundamentals of ACI

IS-IS is use to avdvertise VTEP address inside the fabric.

brains and beauty do exist!!

Men will be Men.....awesome explanation BtW😊

Man, Carly is making networking engineering hot again!

25:47

Wow i am a CCNA Teacher , She is beautifull and i like her , Awesome women training People....

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

Beautiful instructor..

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

Good Day Carly Mentioned that she was working on two books, where can I find those books, and which are the titles ?

link for download the pack?

very Nice...

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

Awesome,,,

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.

None of you have any chance xD Very well explained, thank you

Awesome job Carly! Tell Mr Barnes I said hello...

how do you keep your self soo fit.

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

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.

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

Like for the teacher!

Where did she just talk about?

what is is this again I was distracted lol

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?

@ 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.

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 ?

Where is Lilian Guan? :)

*GRILL!*

Great

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

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

and all the geeks come crazy¡

Carly could you pls be my mentor? you are great at what u do.

I hate networks .But i wouldn't mind taking the class

exsuse me! What's the level it is?

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

😍

I wish my Cisco professor looked this good lol.

❤️💜❤️

Class only for Mac users!!!

I wouldnt be able to learn much in this class

how a man can focus with all this distraction !

Now everything is in AWS no need for ACI anymore

The laughing moment about Netbios traffic reminded me of that "We are not communists scene" from The GodFather.

starting icnd1 ... haha no idea what any of this is

Lion lady

Makes my head hurt

a very rare very hot beautiful IT Engineer.... from a NetSys Administrator

Ohh if the coach is so beautiful and knowledgeable i can be very attentive in the class

Wow, the processor is hot. It needs cooling!

看来大家都是冲着美女专家来。。哈哈

Seems like a tedious way to skin a cat, extreme networks fabric attach based on Shortest path bridging and fabric attach is way simpler. 😂 But kudos to the woman, explained to me exactly what ciscos weaknesses are.

Fun fact. Fast forward to 2020, most folks who bought ACI never turned it on because how terrible it was. .

I found a familiar word "Minecraft"

A lot of thirsty nerds on this comment thread.

Explaining advanced Cisco infrastructure to a bunch of nerds whilst wearing a cocktail dress.

you put a nice blonde explain, i will pay attention to that for sure...

sexy

i wished if she dropped her pen!!

Wow .. too much distraction..let's focus on networking..

Junk.
