Description
No more box-by-box configuration and deployment. Using intent-based policy, Cisco DNA automation capabilities transform previously manual onboarding, configuration, provisioning, and software management processes to simplify and scale network operations and greatly minimize configuration errors.
Features and benefits
Cisco DNA automation replaces manual chores with a more agile and effective process based on four sets of capabilities: visibility, intent, deployment, and management.
Visibility
Automatically discover devices to get end-to-end network visibility and a network inventory.
Intent
Define how you intend your network to work, and translate that intent into automation.
Deployment
No more guessing about configurations. Simply plug in a network device to onboard it automatically.
Management
Help ensure end-to-end network consistency and performance with the right software image management for every device.
