WANs are large, complex networks that require advanced understanding of network operation and security. ENSA also introduces you to two game-changing areas of networking: virtualization and automation. By the end of this course, you will be able to configure, troubleshoot, and secure enterprise network devices. You will be versed in application programming interfaces (APIs) and the configuration management tools that make network automation possible. When you have completed ENSA, you will have gained the practical experience you need to prepare for the CCNA certification exam.
