So there you have it.
Now we understand what APIs really do.
It's the way for applications to transmit data or business
intent to other applications.
And we see now how the software-defined networking
controllers, like DNA Center, or Viptela's SD-WAN,
or Firepower Management Center can now
communicate using APIs to our endpoint devices,
like switches or firewalls.
And we can now communicate directly to these controllers
and send that data elsewhere East and West bound. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
and send that data elsewhere East and West bound.
That's the point of API and network automation.
It's all about streamlining and integrating
our services together.
So that's been introducing APIs in the software-defined
networking era.
I hope this has been informative for you.
And I'd like to thank you for viewing.
