Course Details
The Leveraging Cisco Intent-Based Networking DNA Assurance (DNAAS) v1.0 course provides you with the skills to monitor and troubleshoot a traditional brownfield network infrastructure by using Cisco® Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA™) Assurance. The course focuses on highlighting issues rather than on monitoring data. The advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning features within Cisco DNA Assurance enable you to isolate the root cause of a problem and to take appropriate actions to quickly resolve issues. Cisco DNA Assurance can be used to perform the work of a Level 3 support engineer.
This course will help you:
- Monitor, identify, and respond to changing network and wireless conditions
- Automate manual operations to reduce the costs associated with human errors, resulting in more uptime and improved security
- Save time by using a single dashboard to manage and automate your network
Objectives
After taking this course, you should be able to:
- Explain the benefits of using Cisco DNA Center in a traditional, enterprise network
- Explain at a detailed level the Cisco DNA Center Assurance system architecture, functional components, features, and data-processing concepts.
- Discuss the health scores, metrics, and strategies that you use for monitoring network devices, clients, and applications with Cisco DNA Assurance
