Migrate to Intent-Based Networking-and improve network manageability,
cost, agility, security, and simplicity
With Intent-Based Networking (IBN), you can create networks that capture
and automatically activate business intent, assure that your network
responds properly, proactively detect and contain security threats, and
remedy network issues before users even notice.
Intent-Based Networking makes networks far more valuable, but few
organizations have the luxury of building them from the ground up. In
this book, leading expert Pieter-Jans Nefkens presents a unique
four-phase approach to preparing and transforming campus network
infrastructures, architectures, and organization-helping you gain
maximum value from IBN with minimum disruption and cost.
The author reviews the problems IBN is intended to solve, and
illuminates its technical, business, and cultural implications. Drawing
on his pioneering experience, he makes specific recommendations,
identifies pitfalls, and shows how to overcome them. You'll learn how to
implement IBN with the Cisco Digital Network Architecture and DNA Center
and walk through real-world use cases. In a practical appendix, Nefkens
even offers detailed technical configurations to jumpstart your own
transformation.
