Description

The Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches (ENC9K) training provides you with an insight into Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches and its solution components. It also covers inclusion of Silicon One ASICs for Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches. 

Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches are the next generation in the legendary Cisco Catalyst family of enterprise LAN access, aggregation, and core switches. They are purpose built from the ground up for the new realities of the digital era. They are twice as fast, with twice the capacity, providing end-to-end security, and automation using centralized management using Cisco DNA Center. Cisco Catalyst 9000 switches lead the industry with the first 400G interfaces in enterprise computing, first Silicon One ASICs for campus, full multigigabit and UPoE+ ports, converged switching and routing. This training also earns you 18 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.

This training will help you:  

  • Prepare for successful deployment of the Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches 
  • Understand the role of Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches in the SD-Access fabric 
  • Learn to provision Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches using Cisco DNA Center as the orchestration platform 
  • Gain hands-on practice through in-depth lab exercises 
  • Earn 18 CE credits toward recertification
