Course Overview

The Introducing Implementing Assurance DNAC – Workshop (IADNAC) course by Cisco is designed to equip network professionals with the skills to deploy and manage assurance capabilities within enterprise networks using Cisco DNA Center. While no standalone certification exam is currently tied directly to IADNAC, it supports preparation for advanced roles involving Cisco’s intent-based networking solutions, including pathways related to the ENNA (Enterprise Network Native Automation) credential. This workshop is ideal for Network Engineers, IT Operations Specialists, and Network Administrators responsible for monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing network performance. With over 70% of Fortune 500 companies adopting intent-based networking solutions like Cisco DNA Center, demand for skilled professionals who can implement assurance at scale continues to grow across enterprise IT departments.

Participants engage with core technologies including Cisco DNA Center, Identity Services Engine (ISE), ThousandEyes, Umbrella, SNMP, NetFlow, and Syslog in a hands-on lab environment delivered through Cisco’s dCloud platform. Students configure telemetry profiles, onboard network devices such as Catalyst 9300 switches and 9800 Wireless LAN Controllers, and build site hierarchies with floor maps to visualize client connectivity. They also integrate assurance tools with external platforms like ThousandEyes for WAN visibility and Umbrella for security telemetry. A key project involves deploying end-to-end path trace analysis to identify bottlenecks affecting application performance, allowing learners to simulate real-world root cause analysis and reduce mean time to resolution in complex environments.

By mastering assurance workflows in the Introducing Implementing Assurance DNAC – Workshop (IADNAC), professionals position themselves for career advancement into high-impact roles such as Enterprise Network Specialist or Automation Engineer, where salaries average $115,000–$145,000 annually in North America.
