If you're going the route of ccnp and you are considering checking out the network. Automation stuff. The in Auto exam is one that you're going to want to pay attention to. So in this article we'll break down what that exam is really all about and some hidden bonuses that may come from taking this exam, Let's go Cisco's new certification platform is really cool and it's very similar in a lot of ways to the Microsoft certification platform.
Now you take a core exam and then basically an elective, A specialist exam and that's what will grant you your ccnp? The same goes for the definite professional. There is a dev net core exam and then a series of specialist exams. You can pick one from and that's what will get you your dev net professional exam, But did you know that there is one of those special exams that applies to either one dev net or CCNP? That's what the enterprise automation exam! The in auto is all about, And in this article I think we should explore what this exam really does for us and how it differs from some of the other automation offerings that we've seen so far immediately. What comes to mind is why is this in both platforms? Why is this in both CCNP and definite? Doesn'T it seem like the dead net exam already covers automation? Did t need an enterprise, Automation exam? Well, Let's talk about this for a second, The definite associate and the dev net core. Those have heavier weights. If you look at the exam outlines in the software development section, Unless heavier weights in the actual Cisco platform, Automation section - that's where the in Auto flips things around, So what I think we should do now is bring up the white paper on what the exam breakdown Is and talk about it so here it is the auto exam topics and again, Just to reiterate: if you take this exam, You will be given an enterprise, Automation, Specialist, Title or certification.
If you haven't already taken one of the core examples, So simply taking this exam will get you the enterprise, Automation, Specialist certification and it counts towards both CCNP and definite professional. So once you've taken the in Auto exam, You can either take the encore exam or the dev core exam and be granted the professional level certifications in either of those roles. But again, I think it's important that we break down what this exam really covers and how it differentiates itself from some of the other automation stuff that we've seen up to this point. If I'm focusing on one thing that really separates itself, It's these percentages right here domain, One network, Programmability foundations and domain to automate, ApI's and protocols.
These Carried heavier weights in other parts of the exams that we've seen these things are covered somewhat in encore somewhat in the CCNA and a lot in the dev net associate and t carried heavier weights. But in this exam these two domains total for only 20% of the exam and the remaining 80% are all about automating Network Devices and Cisco platforms. This is where you're really going to be rolling up your sleeves and automating Cisco devices. T assume that you already have some basic familiarity with apI's, Get Python virtual environments a little bit of ansible and maybe some puppet.
T assume that you know some stuff about Yang and how yang models fit in, And the IETF protocols Netcom fresco and that's why t're not putting as much heavy weight on these items know what this exam is all about. Is it's all about automating the enterprise? It's not about software development and best practices, We're rolling up our sleeves and we're doing stuff. So if we take a look at domain 3 with network device, Programmability we're seeing things like day 0 provisioning we're seeing things like configure model driven telemetry for iOS XE devices. If you checked out my youtube article on streaming data from a network device into power, Bi, That's exactly what this 35 is, Except for the 35 section.
T go a step further, Where you actually subscribe to events upon these devices, T even bring up net Mikko. This is the first mention of net Mikko on a cisco exam, So we're really doing stuff. When we get into domain 3, We're using net mica we're using NC client 4 net comp interactions, We're monitoring the network for troubleshooting issues, An outlier, We're doing zero touch provisioning. Then we take it a step further, And I think this is probably the most fascinating part is now we're talking about specific Cisco platforms, DNA Center, S2 AnunnakI and each of these get 20% of the exam.
These three platforms accumulate to 60% of the exam. I think that means t put a lot of emphasis. T really believe that these three platforms are what's going to transform the enterprise, And I love that, Because these three platforms kind of represent three different kinds of enterprises right. The DNA Center is representing a large campus. Maybe a hospital, Maybe a university sd1 - is representing a multI regional campus right and ministering. A hq2 branch hubs spoke architecture as a big deal, And st lan simplifies that greatly and Meraki.
While t've traditionally been for small to medium sized businesses, T can absolutely handle large enterprises and in a lot of ways, It simplifies in feels like the summary or best parts of the two above. Let's expand these a little bit and take a look at what's going on in DNA center, St 1 and Meraki. I think one of the cool things about this is when I was recording for the definite Associate exam. I felt strongly that we needed to take it a step further than what the dead met associated exam asked us to accomplish. So a lot of these things, We've already kind of covered.
We know things like what's the difference between traditional versus Sdn, But here in 42 we start looking at what the features of DNA Center are. In these 42 a B C and D. This is really talking about the northbound southbound eastbound and westbound apI's, Something that we covered in our dead net associate course on CBT, And then I really like this implement API request.
This is talking about. Do it do it roll up your sleeves and actually connect to the REST, API on DNA Center and check out the intent API is, That is the actual configuring of our stuff, Implement API requests that perform and accomplish network management tasks like device discovery and then, Of Course, There's even some troubleshooting who doesn't love troubleshooting, Let's check out some SD Wham. For the most part, The SD win is really interacting. With the V manage API. You see V manage pop up and a lot of places here, But it is talking about how do you configure the sto and fabric? Let's use this stuff to do it? You have to construct the actual API request themselves to connect to the V manage API.
You have to understand how to get started beyond a little bit of a world. It's do the world get connected and then do stuff, Monitor your apI's, Configure your apI items and then, Of course, A little more troubleshooting again then down in MerakI MerakI has a few different API, So that I think, Are kind of fascinating. There is, Of course, The dashboard API, That's really what you interact with when you interact with the MerakI front-end dashboard, But now t want you to understand how we can interact with the Wi-FI apI's like the captive portal or the location scanning apI's, Which is part of The SSIDs, Where we can track people as t move through our organization by tracking their cell phone, The MV sense, Which is our camera API. That's all a part of it and then web hooks. How do we actually build alerts to receive web hook alerts? Another major part of it.
Some of this content has already been covered on EveDumps-. We do have sections on automating MerakI apI's, Including the SDK, And I even have a skill called deploy. Python function apps in Azure and that skill was all about receiving a MerakI webhook alert written in Python.
Now these two here, These create a network configure network. This is the dashboard API and that's absolutely what we do as part of the definite associate course, And my code is also available on github. So do you see now how this exam is a little bit different than the other automation exams? We'Ve been talking about where t're just trying to get you familiar with API fundamentals and software development fundamentals. This exam is automating, Cisco networks, That's what this exam is all about doing, And I really think you should check it out because one of the key things about it is: it counts towards both definite professional and CCNP, And even if you don't take those core Exams, You still get the enterprise automation certification. Now me personally, I am wrapping up recording as your certification stuff for EveDumps in the next couple weeks.
But what's up on my next to-do list, You bet I'm going straight into the in Auto exam recording and I've got my MerakI equipment sitting right here on the floor beneath me, So that I can lab and show you how to do things like this location scanning ApI in the env sense API. It's going to be a blast so check out that in Auto I think it's gonna be the specialist exam that you should really go for. That will separate you from the other crowd and it'll make you stand out on your resume by saying I'm not only talking about the core CCNP and Devon, A professional items I'm actually going for the enterprise automation stuff. That's setting up your enterprise for the future.
