This five-day course is designed to provide students with the knowledge required to work with the Juniper Contrail software-defined networking (SDN) solution.

Students will gain in-depth knowledge of how to use the Contrail Command user interface, Contrail Networking, Contrail’s fabric management and administration features, and Contrail Security, as well as AppFormix analytics features.

Students will also learn to use APIs and the CLI to perform the Contrail configuration tasks. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience with the features of Contrail and AppFormix.

This course is based on Contrail Release 5.1.0 and AppFormix 2.19.10.

Network Automation using the Contrail Controller (NACC) is an intermediate-level course.
