Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switches

The Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switches (ENC9K) v3.0 self-paced course provides you with insight into Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches and its solution components. Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches are the next generation in the Cisco Catalyst family of enterprise LAN access, aggregation, and core switches. The switches integrate the new realities of the digital era: they are twice as fast, with double the capacity, providing end-to-end security, and automation using centralized management in the Cisco DNA Center. 

The course qualifies for 18 Cisco Continuing Education credits (CE) towards recertification.
