Course Overview
Hi, everyone. My name is Nick Russo and welcome to my automating Cisco D N a. Center operations using AP Eyes course with the fundamentals of software development and network program ability behind you. Weaken dig deeper into Cisco Digital Network Architecture or D N A Center. By exploring, it's a P I. This course covers four main topic areas. Managing the DNA center inventory, using the site architecture, creating rendering and deploying configuration templates, troubleshooting network problems at scale and utilizing d n a. Center assurance for health monitoring. After completing this course, you'll be able to programmatically, configure, operate and monitor your network using DNA Center. Before beginning this course, I'd recommend the following prerequisite courses. These three courses provide the foundation off software development and program ability skills that are extended in this course. The content around get version control, Cisco Products and General A P eyes will be especially helpful. I'm assuming you already have a strong background in python programming. This fourth course follows an enterprise scenario from day zero today n provisioning new routers, configuring them for daily operations, then monitoring them with streaming telemetry. I think this will provide useful context before digging into DNA center. I hope you'll join me on this journey toe. Learn about automating Cisco DEA Center operations using a P I out Pluralsight.
