Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switches (ENC9K)

 

Course Content

The Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switches (ENC9K) v2.0 course introduces you to the architecture, capabilities, and implementation of the Cisco® Catalyst® 9000 switching platform. This hands-on course covers many features of this Cisco IOS® XE platform and describes how to manage devices from a single dashboard called Cisco DNA Center™. You will learn how to use the Cisco Catalyst 9000 family of switches to enable Software Defined Access (SD-Access) and provide end-to-end security and automation with centralized management using Cisco DNA Center.

This course will help you:

  • Prepare for successful deployment of the Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches
  • Understand the role of Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches in the SD-Access fabric
  • Learn to provision Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches using Cisco DNA center as the orchestration platform
  • Gain hands-on practice through in-depth lab exercises

Who should attend

Network engineers, designers, managers, and system engineers who are adopting the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA™) and will use Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switches to enable an SD-Access solution provisioned with Cisco DNA Center.

Prerequisites

You are expected to have the following knowledge and skills before attending this course:

  • Cisco CCNP® certification or equivalent experience
  • Knowledge of configuring LAN routing and switching with legacy Cisco Catalyst switches
  • Familiarity with the Cisco IOS XE operating system
  • Awareness of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) as an authentication platform and policy manager
  • Familiarity with using network management software
  • Knowledge of Cisco Unified Computing Systems fundamentals
  • Familiarity with Cisco Intent-based networking and policy-based management automation technologies
