Implementing Cisco Crosswork Network Controller (SPCNCI)
Course Description
Overview
The Implementing Cisco Crosswork Network Controller (SPCNCI) course introduces you to the Cisco® Crosswork Network Controller (CNC) and its installation. Through a series of lectures and labs you will learn to use Cisco CNC to streamline, manage, and automate service lifecycle functions spanning across service provisioning, visualization, monitoring, and optimization. You will also get an overview of Cisco CNC as an IP transport network controller platform, of its components, and of its utility in various use-cases such as boosting operational agility, improving intent-based service delivery, and reducing the cost of operations.This course will also teach you about creating custom service definitions, tactical traffic engineering policies, automated provisioning of services, and real-time traffic optimization. Additionally, you will learn about implementing closed loop automation workflows for remediation, optimization, and maintenance. Finally, this course will teach you to understand APIs to help interface with other systems, as well as best practices, including sizing guidelines across components of the CNC meant to meet scalability and high-availability requirements.
