Description
Instructor‑led intensive hands‑on program designed to build practical skills in modern enterprise networking and network automation.
This live bootcamp combines real‑world deployment of Cisco SD‑WAN for secure, policy‑driven WAN connectivity, Cisco SD‑Access for automated, intent‑based campus networking using DNA Center, and a full introduction to Network Automation workflows used by today’s enterprise and service provider engineers.
You will learn how automation enhances SD‑WAN and SD‑Access operations, reduces manual configuration, and enables scalable, API‑driven network management. The bootcamp integrates practical automation techniques using Python, YANG models, NETCONF/RESTCONF, and DNA Center APIs — giving you the skills to automate provisioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting across enterprise networks.
