COURSE OVERVIEW:
DNACPF (Cisco DNA Center Programmability Integration Fundamentals) is a 3-day, instructor-led, Cisco DNA Center course that will help you to become familiar with programmable infrastructure concepts and integrations that support Cisco SD-Access, DNA Center, and the Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series switch programming. In this course you will learn about production solutions that run on or interact with IOS-XE on the Catalyst 9000 switches.Virtual Learning
This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
