CCNAAUTO

Please note: On February 03, 2026, the 200-901 DEVASC exam was renamed to 200-901 CCNAAUTO: Automating Networks Using Cisco Platforms. The DEVASC course has also been renamed CCNAAUTO accordingly and the new content is closely aligned with the requirements of the CCNA Automation certification.

In the "Automating Networks Using Cisco Platforms (CCNAAUTO)" course, you will learn how to implement basic network applications based on Cisco platforms and implement automation workflows for network, security, collaboration and computing infrastructures. The course gives you hands-on experience in solving real-world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.
