Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches (ENC9K) course. In English. Also remote

The Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switches (ENC9K)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 is worth 18 Continuing Education Credits.

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