Course Overview
The Transforming to a Cisco Intent-Based Network (IBNTRN) v1.1 course by Cisco is designed for network administrators, engineers, and system architects seeking to master intent-based networking through Cisco’s Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA). This training prepares professionals for roles such as Network Automation Engineer, SD-Access Specialist, and Enterprise Network Architect, positions increasingly in demand as 78% of enterprises adopt intent-based networking for agile, secure infrastructure. While no official certification exam is tied directly to IBNTRN, the course aligns with advanced Cisco DNA Specialist certifications and supports recertification through 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits. Participants gain foundational and practical knowledge essential for deploying and managing modern campus networks using Cisco’s automation-driven approach.
Students engage with key technologies including Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center), Cisco SD-Access, Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), and Catalyst 9000 Series platforms, learning how these components integrate to enable policy-driven automation. Through hands-on labs in a simulated enterprise environment, learners configure fabric domains, onboard endpoints, deploy segmentation policies using Scalable Group Tags (SGTs), and automate device provisioning using Plug and Play (PnP). The lab exercises are built around real-world scenarios such as migrating from traditional hierarchical networks to a software-defined fabric and implementing secure, zero-trust segmentation across wired and wireless infrastructures using integrated ISE and Catalyst Center workflows.
Completing the Transforming to a Cisco Intent-Based Network (IBNTRN) v1.1 course equips IT professionals with skills recognized across the industry, particularly as organizations prioritize automated, secure network operations. Senior roles like Principal Network Architect with Cisco SD-Access expertise command salaries ranging from $150,000 to $200,000 annually, reflecting the high value of these competencies. At Koenig Solutions, learners benefit from Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official Cisco courseware, ensuring structured, instructor-led mastery of complex automation workflows. Graduates are positioned to lead digital transformation initiatives, driving network agility and security alignment in next-generation enterprise environments.
