Description

The Cisco ENAUTO v1.0 course focuses on automating Cisco Enterprise solutions, including enterprise network management, Cisco DNA Center, Cisco SD-WAN, and Cisco Meraki, using modern tools and APIs. This course will guide learners through network automation fundamentals, including network programmability concepts, programming principles (especially Python), REST APIs, data models (YANG), and network management protocols such as NETCONF and RESTCONF.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand and use model-driven programmability with YANG, RESTCONF, and NETCONF.

• Automate enterprise network management with Cisco DNA Center and Cisco Meraki APIs.

• Configure and manage Cisco SD-WAN networks through automation tools.

• Leverage Cisco NSO (Network Services Orchestrator) to automate network services.

• Implement Python programming for automating networks.

• Use Ansible, Chef, and Puppet to automate configurations across Cisco devices.

Modules and Topics:

1. Network Programmability Foundation:

   • Programming fundamentals (Python).

   • Automation workflows and software development methodologies (Agile, DevOps).

   • APIs, data formats (JSON, XML), and version control (Git).

2. Cisco DNA Center Automation:

   • Using Cisco DNA Center for network device management and troubleshooting.

   • Automating network services like QoS, routing, and wireless configurations via APIs.

3. Cisco Meraki Automation:

   • Introduction to Cisco Meraki and its API.

   • Automating cloud-managed networks with Cisco Meraki solutions.

4. Cisco SD-WAN Automation:

   • Overview of Cisco SD-WAN.

   • Automating SD-WAN configurations and policies using APIs and automation tools.

5. Network Device Programmability:

   • Working with YANG data models and tools like RESTCONF and NETCONF to automate device configurations.

   • Using Cisco NSO for device management and service orchestration.

6. Python and Automation Tools:

   • Writing Python scripts for network automation.

   • Using open-source tools such as Ansible, Chef, and Puppet to configure network devices.

Who Should Take This Course:

• Network engineers, software developers, and automation engineers seeking to enhance their automation and programmability skills.

• IT professionals preparing for the Cisco 300-435 ENAUTO exam as part of the Cisco DevNet Professional certification.

Prerequisites:

• Basic understanding of networking protocols.

• Familiarity with Cisco routing and switching technologies.

• Experience with Python programming and basic understanding of automation concepts is recommended.

This course not only prepares candidates for the Cisco 300-435 exam but also equips them with practical skills for automating and managing Cisco enterprise solutions in real-world scenarios.

Who this course is for:

• Network Engineers
• Network Administrator
• Current IT Support Professionals
