Please note: This course will be EOL on October 13, 2025. Cisco has no plans to replace this training.
This is a Cisco Learning Services course, and the events are conducted directly by Cisco.
-
The course shows you how to create efficient and agile network management through automated device operations, fast provisioning install, network configuration, dashboard management, and device management using Cisco© Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) Manager. Through a combination of lessons and hands-on labs, you will learn to maximize the benefits of the Cisco EPN Manager as a simplified, flexible, and cost-effective end-to-end lifecycle management solution for network provisioning, and network assurance management for today's converging packet and optical multilayer networks.
