Course Overview
TopThe Understanding Cisco SDA Fundamentals (SDAFND) course introduces you to Cisco® Software-Defined Access and teaches you, through a combination of lectures and labs, how to implement simple, single-site fabric networks.
You will learn the benefits of leveraging Software-Defined Access in the Cisco-powered Enterprise Campus network. SDAFND will introduce the solution, its architecture and components, and guide you through labs to design and deploy simple Cisco SD-Access networks. The course will also introduce Cisco DNA Center as the single pane of glass for deploying and operating Cisco SD-Access enterprise networks. Students will explore automation, assurance and programmability features of Cisco DNA center both in theory and through practical labs.
This course will help you:
Deploy Cisco SD-Access networks
Explain Cisco Software-Designed Access
Operate, manage, and integrate Cisco DNA Center™
Class-Connect™ HD
This is live hands-on interactive learning where you can attend a course from different training centres.
