Cisco DNA Training

[Sylus]

Hello everyone,,

My company will be moving towards Cisco DNA in the future and they wanted me to do my homework as to what training I will need.

Could anyone recommend a company that does training or a specific course?

I've been looking up youtube videos and trying to understand what all the parts of Cisco DNA are in plain English. Can the community correct me on what the following:

It seems to break down into:

APIC-EM: Controller where the DNA software lives. Maybe you run automation scripts from here too

ISE: A security component. Lets you make profiles for people that they can log into and changed the access port information based on who they are ie vlans

NDP: the monitor part of DNA.

I strongly recommend taking a peek at the following:
Cisco Live Library (search for SDA and ISE): https://www.ciscolive.com/global/on-demand-library.html?search=sda#/
This link covers design guides and additional training: https://community.cisco.com/t5/networking-documents/sd-access-resources/ta-p/3812030#Design
Here are additional EN design guides: https://community.cisco.com/t5/networking-documents/cisco-en-validated-design-and-deployment-guides/ta-p/3777320
Lastly, I suggest working with your Cisco reps. Good luck & HTH!

In addition to what Mike said, Cisco provides Ask the Expert sessions for all sorts of DNA related topics.  I think it's the perfect fit for where you are in your journey.  There are recordings too, but the schedule is available here:
