Overview

 

Cisco Crosswork Network Automation is a micro-services platform that brings together streaming telemetry, big data, and model-driven application programming interfaces (APIs). This demonstration highlights the Cisco Crosswork applications Health Insights and Change Automation.

  • Health Insights is a network health application that performs real-time key performance indicator (KPI) monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting.
  • Change Automation is an application that automates the process of deploying changes to the network.

 

Scenarios

 

  • Scenario 1: Add Devices, Verify Initial Topology, and Router Configuration
  • Scenario 2: Configure KPIs in Health Insights
  • Scenario 3: Verify KPIs
  • Scenario 4: Detect a Problem in the Network
  • Scenario 5: Remediate Issues with Change Automation
  • Scenario 6: Apply Software Update with Change Automation
  • Scenario 7: Blackhole Detection
