See the small print of the upcoming Cisco Stay classes beneath:
Breakout Classes
Safe Zero Contact Provisioning (SZTP) with Cisco Catalyst Switches [DEVNET-1249]
Zero Contact Provisioning (ZTP) permits us to automate the deployment Cisco IOS XE and Catalyst platforms on enterprise and campus networks utilizing the embedded CentOS “GuestShell” Linux Container and the Python and NETCONF API’s to fully onboard, configure and handle community gadgets. This session particulars the ZTP and Visitor Shell options and explores some frequent primary and superior use circumstances. With the most recent launch of Cisco IOS XE, we now help Safe ZTP. This function consists of an evidence of the important thing parts together with conveyed info, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher. The setup configuration for Safe ZTP can be lined on this session.
Atomic Config Substitute with Cisco Catalyst 9000 [DEVNET-2385]
Atomic Configuration and atomic config substitute is turning into increasingly requested, and this session dives deep into the newly launched options inside IOS XE and the Catalyst 9000 household. With the ability to handle configuration in an atomic style permits groups to extra successfully handle the change and community configuration drift. Utilizing CLI or API the atomic config substitute options can be demonstrated so to instantly profit from leveraging both partial config or full config substitute. Simply substitute ACL, insurance policies, or interface configurations, or provide a whole config and that config can be set no matter current configuration.
Able to get hands-on? Fill out this manner to remain within the loop about Atomic Configuration Substitute Updates and get hands-on the ACR function in our Early Discipline Trials: https://kinds.workplace.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Yq_hWgWVl0CmmsFVPveEDl-qhyOMAopIt0ITbss2ZKVUMFJQV01KSUlZRUk4S0VOWjg5TDM4TjdDVS4u&origin=QRCode

NetDevOps 3,2,1, Motion! Cut back the Assault Floor of IOS XE with Ansible [DEVWKS-2008]
Did you hear we have to safe the community?
Are auditors wanting over your shoulder?
How about fixing these points with Ansible automation?
If you’re nonetheless storing your Ansible stock passwords in textual content information or desire a deeper understanding of securing IOS XE, this session is for you.
On this session, you’ll learn to securely use Ansible to allow AAA, configure robust SSH cipher suites, deploy MACsec, and allow different safety features based mostly on greatest practices. These greatest practices will enable you to meet compliance necessities together with CMMC, NIST, and others.
NOTE:
DevNet Workshop seating process is as follows: pre-registered attendees are seated first, waitlist and non-registered attendees are seated so as of check-in if a seat turns into accessible. This can be a hands-on DevNet Workshop the place you code together with an teacher and solely 16 laptops can be found for this workshop. Sound in Workshops is broadcast to wi-fi headphones worn by the individuals. Noise cancelling headphones can be supplied at every seat on this workshop.
By attending this DevNet Workshop, you’ll be eligible to earn Cisco Persevering with Schooling (CE) Credit. Discover particulars at: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/coaching/continuing-education-program.html#~qualifying-options
Abilities, Lightning Talks & Cisco U
Configure IOS XE Utilizing the CLI [DEVSKL-1110]
This session will cowl guide CLI configuration for Cisco Catalyst gadgets. This session is paired with SKILLS-1111 instantly following. It is strongly recommended that you simply register for each classes, however this isn’t required.
Configure IOS XE Utilizing Automation [DEVSKL-1111]
This session will cowl automating the method to Cisco Catalyst gadgets. This session is paired with SKILLS-1110 instantly earlier than this session. It is strongly recommended that you simply register for each session, however this isn’t required.
Automate Cisco IOS XE Machine Configuration Utilizing Terraform [DEVLIT-2083]
Terraform is a cloud-native infrastructure provisioning device with zero server-side dependencies and a single binary file. Terraform for Cisco IOS XE makes use of RESTCONF and the YANG interface. It’s corresponding to Ansible tooling, and the 2 can be utilized collectively.
Getting Began with Safe Zero Contact Provisioning [DEVLIT-2062]
Zero Contact Provisioning (ZTP) permits us to automate the deployment Cisco IOS XE and Catalyst platforms on enterprise and campus networks utilizing the embedded CentOS “GuestShell” Linux Container and the Python and NETCONF API’s to fully onboard, configure and handle community gadgets. This session particulars the ZTP and Visitor Shell options and explores some frequent primary and superior use circumstances. With the most recent launch of Cisco IOS XE, we now help Safe ZTP. This function, together with an evidence of the important thing parts, together with conveyed info, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher.
Maximizing Cisco IOS XE Effectivity with YANG Suite [CISCOU-1043]
Working extra effectively and successfully with Cisco Catalyst IOS XE begins with utilizing programmability and automation to cut back troubleshooting time. As a substitute of losing time troubleshooting, let’s work on fixing the tough issues! On this session, we are going to discover the capabilities of YANG-based APIs by the free and publicly accessible tooling YANG Suite. This device will assist allow our gadgets to be configured with ease at scale. We’ll reply questions equivalent to: how can I discover the equal YANG Mannequin for the CLI I exploit right this moment? We may also construct payloads to configure gadgets programmatically and generate Python Scripts and Ansible Playbooks to repeat these configurations at a bigger scale.
