Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 (ENC9K) Training Course

Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switches (ENC9K) is an instructor-led training course that helps you plan, deploy, and operate Cisco’s flagship campus switching platform with confidence. You’ll get hands-on with Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series switches and see how they fit into modern enterprise networks, from access to core. The course makes the technology approachable: you start with platform architecture and model positioning, then move into practical configuration, policy, automation, and day-two operations.

You’ll learn how to manage switches using the command-line interface, the IOS XE web user interface, and Cisco DNA Center (Cisco Catalyst Center). In practice, that means you’ll provision devices at scale, automate Day 0 onboarding with LAN Automation and Plug and Play, standardise images and patches, and apply policy consistently across the fabric. You’ll also explore the role of Cisco Silicon One application-specific integrated circuits in campus switching, what that means for throughput and latency, and how those capabilities show up in real network designs.

If you’re moving from earlier Catalyst generations, the course shows you how to map legacy models to the 9000 family and plan migrations without disruption. By the end, you’ll be able to position the right switch series for each role, automate common workflows, and keep software current using proven maintenance features like Graceful Insertion and Removal. Throughout, the emphasis is on practical, exam-aligned content that you can apply at work the next day. A certificate of course attendance is included.
