The Transforming to a Cisco Intent-Based Network (IBNTRN) v1.1 course teaches you how the functionality of Cisco® SD-Access fits into Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA™). Through a combination of lessons and hands-on learning, you will practice operating, managing, and integrating Cisco DNA Center, programmable network infrastructure, and Cisco SD-Access fundamentals. You will learn how Cisco delivers intent-based networking across the campus, branch, WAN, and extended enterprise and ensures that your network is operating as intended.

How you'll benefit

This class will help you:

Configure an open, software-driven approach that makes the network simpler, more agile, and responsive to business needs
Leverage the functionality of Cisco DNA Center to streamline operations, reduce costs, detect and contain threats, and continuously align the network to business needs

Prerequisites

To fully benefit from this course, you should have the following knowledge:

Understanding of network routing and switching principles equivalent to a CCNP® Enterprise level
Experience with Cisco Unified Wireless Network technologies
Experience with Cisco ISE, 802.1x, and Cisco TrustSec
Understanding of segmentation technologies such as VLANs and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
Basic understanding of overlay technologies such as Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN)
Basic understanding of Locator ID Separation Protocol (LISP).

Recommended Cisco courses that may help you meet these prerequisites:

Understanding Cisco Wireless Foundations (WLFNDU)
Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR)
Configuring Cisco ISE Essentials for SD-Access (ISESDA)

We recommend prior attendance of the courses

Wireless Fundamentals 1 (WFUN1) and Wireless Fundamentals 2 (WFUN2) or
Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA)

For corporate groups, we can organize this training as an on-site private group.

What You Will Learn

After taking this course, you should be able to:

Identify the Cisco Digital Network Architecture solution by describing the vision, strategy, general concepts, and components.
Describe the Cisco DNA Center design application, hierarchical network design, and basic network settings, and describe the integration of Cisco DNA Center with Cisco Identity Services Engine (Cisco ISE) for Automation and Assurance.
Describe the Cisco DNA Center Inventory and the available mechanisms for discovering and adding network devices, and explore the device compatibility with Cisco DNA Center and SD-Access.
Describe the Cisco DNA Center automation features such as configuration templates, software image maintenance, and Plug and Play (PnP) device onboarding.
