Features and benefits
Cisco DNA automation replaces manual chores with a more agile and effective process based on four sets of capabilities: visibility, intent, deployment, and management.
Visibility
Automatically discover devices to get end-to-end network visibility and a network inventory.
Intent
Define how you intend your network to work, and translate that intent into automation.

No more guessing about configurations. Simply plug in a network device to onboard it automatically.

Help ensure end-to-end network consistency and performance with the right software image management for every device.
