Automating Cisco Enterprise Solutions (300-435 ENAUTO) Online Training

Bridge the gap between traditional network engineering and software-driven operations with our comprehensive preparation course for the Cisco 300-435 ENAUTO exam. This 90-minute specialized exam certifies your technical expertise in deploying automated enterprise solutions across diverse infrastructure frameworks. Passing this concentration exam satisfies requirements for both the CCNP Enterprise and the Cisco Certified DevNet Professional credentials, while awarding you the Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Automation and Programmability designation. 

Our detailed curriculum equips you with hands-on capabilities across device-level environments, specialized controller-based systems, and advanced programmatic operations.

ENAUTO Detailed Course Contents & Blueprints

1. Network Automation Foundations

  • Programming Concepts: Master foundational Python syntax arrays, error handling, variable definitions, and data structures (lists, dictionaries, tuples) tailored for network tasks.
  • Data Serialization Formats: Interpret, build, and parse structural configurations formatted in JSON, XML, and YAML data frameworks.
  • Version Control and Practices: Implement systematic source code management workflows using standard Git repositories, detailing branch architectures, merge operations, and commit rules.
  • Model-Driven Programmability: Differentiate between data modeling concepts and execution strategies using YANG data structures, interacting over NETCONF and RESTCONF automation protocols. 


2. Device-Level Automation

  • Python CLI Automation: Write functional scripts to interact with legacy equipment lines using specialized execution libraries such as Netmiko or Paramiko.
  • Cisco IOS XE Paradigms: Implement on-box and off-box configuration logic explicitly tuned for Cisco IOS XE software platforms.
  • Configuration Management Tools: Formulate reproducible playbooks and execution roles using Ansible to perform baseline configurations and state verification across multiple enterprise devices simultaneously. 


3. Controller-Based Automation

  • Cisco Catalyst Center (DNA Center): Query intent-based hardware architectures programmatically, leveraging intent APIs to extract device inventories, configure network fabrics, and orchestrate Day-0 device onboarding.
  • Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Overlay: Interact with central vManage management dashboards using REST APIs to automate wide-area policy distributions, handle device licensing pools, and pull performance logs.
  • Cisco Meraki Cloud Pipelines: Utilize the comprehensive Meraki Dashboard API to rapidly provision multi-site branch topologies, retrieve location scanning analytics, and enforce cloud security parameters. 


4. Automation Operations & Enhanced Security

  • Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE): Automate network access control definitions, query authentication profiles, and adjust client posture rules using native ISE REST APIs.
  • Cisco ThousandEyes Integration: Provision proactive monitoring layers, configure synthetic network assurance tests, and extract real-time enterprise performance metrics via automation.
  • Telemetry and Event-Driven Actions: Build and troubleshoot logging mechanisms utilizing streaming telemetry pipelines alongside programmatic webhooks to alert engineers of operational threshold breaches. 


5. AI Capabilities in Network Automation

  • AI Assistance Systems: Evaluate and leverage modern generative AI capabilities embedded within native network controllers to facilitate rapid script generation and blueprint troubleshooting.
  • Security & Mitigation Risks: Identify, evaluate, and mitigate structural security hazards associated with deploying AI-driven automation systems, ensuring proper access safeguards.
