Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switches (ENC9K) v1.0

Course code: ENC9K v1

Duration: 3 Day


Prerequisite:

•    Cisco CCNP® Routing and Switching certification or equivalent experience
•    Knowledge of configuring LAN routing and switching with legacy Cisco Catalyst switches
•    Familiarity with the Cisco IOS XE operating system
•    Awareness of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) as an authentication platform and policy manager

Course Description:

The Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switches (ENC9K) v1.0 course introduces you to the architecture, capabilities, and implementation of the Cisco® Catalyst® 9000 switching platform. This hands-on course covers many features of this Cisco IOS® XE platform and describes how to manage devices from a single dashboard called Cisco DNA Center™. You will learn how to use the Cisco Catalyst 9000 family of switches to enable Software Defined Access (SD-Access) and provide end-to-end security and automation with centralized management using DNA Center.

Course Objectives:

After taking this course, you should be able to:
•    Review the Cisco Catalyst 9000 switching family, identify the switches’ features, and examine the functionalities purpose-built for Cisco DNA and the SD-Access solution
•    Describe the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switch architecture, model types, port types, uplink modules, and components, including power supplies and stacking cables
•    Describe the Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches, different modular chassis, supervisor and line card options, architectural components, uplink and power redundancy, and Multigigabit ports
•    Describe the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series Switches, model types, switch components, RFID support, architecture, and switch profiles
•    Position the different Cisco Catalyst 9000 family switch model types in the network, and map older Cisco Catalyst switches to the 9000 family for migration
•    Examine management capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst 9000 family of switches
•    Describe the Cisco Catalyst 9000 family of switches deployed in a Cisco StackWise Virtual environment and an SD-Access fabric
