Why Choose This Course
Automating Networks Using Cisco Platforms (CCNAAUTO) shows you how to build practical network automation skills on real Cisco platforms. You’ll learn to design and implement basic network applications, interact with Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and create end‑to‑end automation workflows across network, security, collaboration, and compute. The training is instructor‑led and aligns to the current exam objectives for the CCNA Automation certification.
Across the course, you’ll move from fundamentals to hands‑on tasks. You’ll work with modern development tools such as Python, Git, Postman, containers, and model‑driven programmability (for example, NETCONF/RESTCONF and YANG). In practice, this means you’ll be able to query devices and controllers, parse API responses, automate common changes, and validate results at scale. You’ll also see where automation fits day‑to‑day—provisioning new sites, collecting operational data, reducing manual errors, and speeding up troubleshooting.
The content is designed for busy professionals. Concepts are introduced in plain language first (what a REST API is and why it’s used), then applied on Cisco platforms (how to call an API on a controller or device and act on the response). Along the way, you’ll apply secure coding and testing habits, use version control, and package repeatable workflows. Here’s how it helps: you’ll leave with a working toolkit and mental model for automating routine tasks and collaborating effectively with NetOps and DevOps teams.A certificate of course attendance is included.
