Overview
This Cisco DNA Center Fundamentals Training has a focused hands-on approach to the SD-A solution. In this workshop, you will learn how to Establish the SD-A in your Enterprise. Besides, you will be able to understand the different components of the SD-A solution, to successfully implement and put in service an SD-A fabric with wired and wireless access and with micro-segmentation.
You will also learn how to automate and program the provisioning tasks using the APIs. Note that, a full SD-A fabric with basic features will be built from scratch.
If you’re familiar with the SDA fabric, attend the SD-Access Deep Dive Workshop (Cisco DNA Center Advanced).
Objectives
This course will be focused on hands-on. A full SD-A fabric with all its basic features will be built from scratch. The provisioning will be done with the GUI and then automated using the APIs.
