About This Solution

This DevNet Express Cisco DNA sandbox allow s you to learn about the building blocks of the Cisco Digital Netw ork Architecture
(Cisco DNA). It includes an introduction to REST APIs, how to code in Python, and how to use programmability in the context of
controllers and device-level interfaces. To access these learning lab materials, log in to the DevNet Learning Labs using your
DevNet credentials: https://learninglabs.cisco.com/tracks/dnav3-track.

Cisco DNA is an open, extensible, and softw are-driven architecture. This structure provides application developers w ith a variety of
w ays to approach programmability and automation for both physical and virtual netw orks environments using Cisco and third-party
environments. Cisco DNA also complements Cisco's data center based Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) tec hnology by
extending a policy-driven approach and softw are strategy throughout the entire netw ork, from campus to branch, w ired to w ireless,
and core to edge.

Cisco DNA has five fundamental design principles for the netw orking softw are stack:

 Virtualize everything to give organizations freedom of choice to run any service anyw here, independent of the underlying
platform. It can be physical or virtual, on premise or in the cloud.

 Designed for autom ation to make netw orks and services on those netw orks easy to deploy, manage,dCloud: The Cisco Demo
and maintain, Cloud
w hich
fundamentally changes the approach to netw ork management.

 Pervasive analytics to provide insights on the operation of the netw ork, IT infrastructure, and the business relative to
information that only the netw ork can provide.

 Service m anagem ent delivered from the cloud to unify policy and orchestration across the netw ork enabling the agility of
cloud w ith the security and control of on-premises solutions.

 Open, extensible , and program mable at every layer to integrate Cisco and third-party technology, open APIs, and a
developer platform to support a rich ecosystem of netw ork-enabled applications.

Cisco DNA takes netw ork programmability to the next step and beyond. It integrates netw ork controllers w ith IoT, the cloud,
virtualization, automation, security, collaboration, and more. This functionality assists businesses w ith creating new applications to
better analyze, automate, and manage the netw ork for their customers and for their ow n infrastructure. This netw ork management
can be combined w ith other tools, such as CMX, so that customer behavior can be tracked to better improve engagement and
sales.

Scenario 1. Schedule a Session

This scenario describes how to schedule a session by using a Guacamole connection.
dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

NOTE: Using this method, you can access DevNet Express Cisco DNA components w ithout using AnyConnect VPN. This method
w orks best for accessing an active session w ith minimal interaction. How ever, you may experience connection and performance
issues w hen using this method.

1. Brow se to dcloud.cisco.com, select the location closest to you, and log in w ith your Cisco.com credentials.

2. Schedule a session. [Show Me How ]

3. Test your connection. [Show Me How ]

4. Verify that the status of your session is Active in My Dashboard > My Sessions .

NOTE: It may take up to 60 minutes for your session to become active.

5. Click View to open the active session.

6. Open the Session Details and select the Public Address of the active session.

7. Start a w eb brow ser and navigate to http://<public-address>:8443/dcloud/#/Login, w here <public-address> is the public
address of your session.

9. After you log in, you have public Guacamole access to the DevNet Express Cisco DNA sandbox.

NOTE: Using the above method, you can connect w ithout the use of AnyConnect VPN to the listed components in the sandbox
utilizing a w eb Brow ser. It w orks best for accessing an active session w ith minimal interaction. How ever, many users experien ce
connection and performance issues w ith this method.
