Overview of Network Assurance and Management Course
This course provides a detailed explanation of the Monitoring and Device Administration protocols and how to deploy them in the real world.
The Protocols such as SNMP, Syslog, NetFlow, and IPFIX. All these technologies will be deployed step by step in the Virtual Environment to get a deep understanding of how they work.
All students will get EVE-NG-based Labs in order to do self practices as well.
The course contains Cisco SD-Access assurance and Network Telemetry step-by-step explanation in order to help you get an understanding of DNA-C robust Assurance features.
Then we will go through Cisco’s Viptela SD-WAN monitoring on vManages that are clustered including redundant and High Available controllers as well as vEdge and cEdge devices.
There are really good troubleshooting tools coming with vManage in order to help the Network administrators Monitor and Troubleshoot their SD-WAN Fabric.
We will talk about MPLS and Segment-Routing OAM as well, which is helping you troubleshoot your LSPs, FEC, and SR policies, with MPLS Ping and MPLS Trace as well as SR Nil-FEC. Also, as with all our other courses, students of this course are placed in our Study Group.
So, when you have any technical questions, you can ask the Instructors directly, which is one of the biggest benefits of our courses. It is not a Forum, it is a Live, Study Group with thousands of people!
