Who Should Attend
This course is designed for Service Provider networking professionals in job roles such as:
• Network administrators
• Network architects
• Network designers
• Network engineers
• Network managers
• Network Operations Center (NOC) personnel
• Network supervisors
Prerequisites
Before taking this course, you should have the following knowledge and skills:
• CCNP equivalent level of knowledge for Routing and Switching (R and S)
• Cisco Internetworking Operating System (IOS XE) and Cisco IOS XR working experience
• SP Operations experience with routing, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) Solutions
• Network Programmability Basics (Network Programming Foundations, APIs and Protocols, Network Model Driven APIs and Protocols, Configuration Management with Ansible, Service Provider Network Automation workflows)
The following Cisco courses can help you gain the knowledge you need to prepare for this course:
• Introducing Automation for Cisco Solutions (CSAU)
• Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR)
• Implementing Cisco Service Provider Advanced Routing Solutions (SPRI)
• Implementing Cisco Service Provider VPN Services (SPVI)
What you will Learn
The Implementing Automation for Cisco Service Provider Solutions (SPAUI) v1.0 course prepares you to implement and support automation solutions in a Service Provider network infrastructure, using network programmability principles, protocols, tools, and mechanisms. Through a combination of lessons and hands-on labs, you will learn to deploy, configure, monitor, and operate Service Provider network environments using modern data models. These models allow you to represent operational data and new network management protocols in order to administer hundreds or thousands of devices in a single operation, replacing traditional, time-consuming, error prone, device-by-device Command Line Interface (CLI) management. The course also introduces powerful automation solutions that can streamline network operations. This course covers Yet Another Next Generation (YANG) data models and validation tools, Representational State Transfer Configuration Protocol RESTCONF
and Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) management protocols, model-driven telemetry with Google Remote Procedure Call (gRPC) and Google Network Management Interface (gNMI), traffic automation with XR Transport Control (XTC), Secure Shell (SSH)-based automation tools like NetMiko and Ansible, orchestration provided by Network Services Orchestration (NSO), Network Function Virtualization (NFV) lifecycle management with Elastic Services Controller (ESC), and network operations automation with WAN Automation Engine (WAE).This course prepares you for the 300-535 Automating and Programming Cisco® Service Provider Solutions (SPAUTO) exam. This course also earns you 24 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification. Introducing Automation for Cisco Solutions (CSAU) is required prior to enrolling in Implementing Automation for Cisco Service Provider Solutions (SPAUI) because it provides crucial foundational knowledge essential to success.
