Opleiding: Automating Networks Using Cisco Platforms [CCNAAUTO]

OVERVIEW

Discover how to implement network applications and automation workflows across network, security, collaboration, and computing infrastructure.

The Automating Networks Using Cisco Platforms (CCNAAUTO) training teaches you how to implement basic network applications using Cisco platforms as a base, and how to implement automation workflows across network, security, collaboration, and computing infrastructure. The training gives you hands-on experience solving real-world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.
This course also prepares you for the 200-901 CCNAAUTO v1.1 exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Automation certification.

This training also earns you 48 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.

OBJECTIVES

After taking this course, you should be able to:

• Describe the importance of APIs and use of version control tools in modern software development
• Describe common processes and practices used in software development
• Describe options for organizing and constructing modular software
• Describe HTTP concepts and how they apply to network-based APIs
• Apply Representational State Transfer (REST) concepts to integration with HTTP-based APIs
• Describe Cisco platforms and their capabilities
• Describe programmability features of different Cisco platforms
• Describe basic networking concepts and interpret simple network topology
• Describe interaction of applications with the network and tools used for troubleshooting issues
• Apply concepts of model-driven programmability to automate common tasks with Python scripts
• Identify common application deployment models and components in the development pipeline
• Utilize tools to automate infrastructure through scripting and model-driven programmability
• Describe common security concerns and types of tests, and utilize containerization for local development
