DNAC Activation and Assurance (DNACAA)

Duration: 4 Days

 This is a 4-day workshop aimed at Cisco partners and customers who are/have deployed Cisco DNA Center. This class will help enable Cisco DNA Center adoption in a brownfield  environment utilizing Assurance as a feature to manage and troubleshooting both a wired and wireless environment, followed by migrating to Software Defined Access for both Wired and  Wireless.
Course Content
