Overview

Who should attend

This 60hrs (Lectures + hands-on Lab) The Implementing Cisco Crosswork Network Controller (SPCNCI) course acquaints candidates with the Cisco® Crosswork Network Controller (CNC) and guides them through its installation process. In this course candidates will learn to utilize Cisco CNC for streamlining, overseeing, and automating service lifecycle like provisioning, visualization, monitoring, and optimization. Candidates will overview the CNC as an IP transport controller, including enhancing operational agility, refining intent-based service delivery, and minimizing operational costs. Candidates will also learn to create custom service definitions, tactical traffic engineering policies, automated provisioning of services, and real-time traffic optimization. Candidates will also learn about implementing closed loop automation workflows for remediation, optimization, and maintenance. APIs offered by CNC, best practices, and sizing guidelines to meet scalability and high-availability requirements. This is a lab-intensive course and objectives are accomplished through hands on learning.
