About this course
Course Overview
The Leveraging Cisco Intent-Based Networking DNA Assurance (DNAAS) course provides you with the skills to monitor and troubleshoot a traditional brownfield network infrastructure by using Cisco® Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA™) Assurance. The course focuses on highlighting issues rather than on monitoring data. The advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning features within Cisco DNA Assurance enable you to isolate the root cause of a problem and to take appropriate actions to quickly resolve issues. Cisco DNA Assurance can be used to perform the work of a Level 3 support engineer.
Target Audience
Network and software engineers
