Welcome to the content on troubleshooting SD-Access Fabrics using Cisco Catalyst Center,
formerly known as Cisco DNA Center, and evolving into new versions of the UI and UX.
The NRC exam still wants you to have some very basic fundamental understanding of what SD-Access
does. Basically, can you say in an elevator pitch, what does it do? And what is the component of that
that helps you monitor and troubleshoot Cisco Catalyst and SD-Access Fabrics? That is called WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=MPEGTS:0,LOCAL:00:00:00.000
that helps you monitor and troubleshoot Cisco Catalyst and SD-Access Fabrics? That is called
the Assurance Platform. When you go into Catalyst Center, you'll click on Assurance, and that's where
you'll begin your troubleshooting journey. Now, there's a lot to unpack here with SD-Access
Catalyst Center. Why did they rebrand it? What does it do? How is it different? And then,
where does Assurance fit in? And then, how do you use Assurance that we're going to talk about WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=MPEGTS:0,LOCAL:00:00:00.000
where does Assurance fit in? And then, how do you use Assurance that we're going to talk about
throughout this set of videos? This is still going to be incredibly high level. The actual
deployment of Catalyst Center, and working with it, and configuring your devices and whatnot,
that's a CCIE level topic. But it is very helpful for you to have a fundamental understanding of
what this is and how you might encounter it, should you ever work on a very large enterprise
campus that uses Catalyst Center. So, without further ado, what we're going to do in this set WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=MPEGTS:0,LOCAL:00:00:00.000
campus that uses Catalyst Center. So, without further ado, what we're going to do in this set
of videos is leverage a Cisco dCloud environment. If you don't have a Cisco account yet, go create
a free account so that you can access dCloud and demo the Assurance Platform and follow along with
me in this set of videos. Let's go.
