Cisco SDA & DNA Center — Campus Fabric Engineering

About the Course

Design and deploy Software-Defined Access (SDA) for enterprise campus networks using Cisco DNA Center. This course covers the full fabric architecture — Border, Control Plane, and Edge nodes — along with LISP/VXLAN campus underlay, macro and micro-segmentation with SGTs, DNA Center assurance dashboards, and automated provisioning workflows. Aligned with enterprise SDA deployments at scale.

You Will be Able to know:

By the end of this course, you will have production-ready skills in Cisco SDA & DNA Center. You will be confident designing, deploying, and troubleshooting real-world enterprise network environments.

• Architect SDA fabric with Border, Control Plane (LISP), and Edge nodes for campus environments

• Provision and onboard network devices using DNA Center zero-touch workflows

• Implement macro-segmentation (VNs) and micro-segmentation (SGTs) for policy-based access

• Monitor network health and troubleshoot issues using DNA Center Assurance and AI analytics

• Integrate SDA fabric with ISE for dynamic endpoint-to-policy enforcement

Prerequisite:

• CCNP-level understanding of campus switching — VLANs, STP, routing protocols

• Basic knowledge of LISP and VXLAN concepts is beneficial but not required

• Experience with Cisco DNA Center or Cisco Prime is a plus

Who Is This Course For?

• Campus network engineers planning or executing SDA migration projects

• Architects designing intent-based networking for large enterprise campuses

• Engineers targeting the Cisco ENSDA (300-435) certification
