Overview
Imagine managing a network with tens of thousands of devices. The mere thought of centralizing this data might seem overwhelming. You know that if you did have a single source of truth and a testing network that was identical to your production network, then these things become possible:
Test changes on a network that is configured identically to your production network.
Test rollbacks on a network that is configured identically to your production network.
Rollback changes in seconds.
Know the configuration of all your systems in REAL TIME.
Convert, upgrade, or change configuration in seconds.
Testing is conducted thoroughly and with complete peace of mind using Cisco Modeling Labs, not on your production network.
Yet, the cost of not doing so is far greater than you might expect.
Managing a large network, with its hundreds or even tens of thousands of devices, is daunting. The prospect of loading all that data into a single source of truth may seem too great a challenge, and you might be tempted to avoid it. However, the benefits of managing your network with a single source of truth and a testing lab that is identical to the appropriate portion of your production network are undeniable. This course will teach you how you can accomplish it.
