Udemy – CCNA Automation 200-901: Complete Video Course

This course is based on the author’s book, *CCNA Automation 200-901 — Complete Learning Guide*, and covers every topic in the official Cisco exam blueprint — from network fundamentals through REST APIs, Cisco platform automation, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code.

**No prior programming experience required.** Every concept is introduced with a plain-English analogy first, then built up to the precise technical detail the exam demands.

What You Will Learn & by the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Describe how networks work at Layer 2 and Layer 3: MAC addressing, VLANs, IP routing, DHCP, DNS, and NAT
• Explain and use REST API principles: HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE), status codes, and JSON/YAML/XML data formats
• Authenticate to Cisco APIs using API keys (Meraki), token flows (Catalyst Center), and Basic Auth (IOS XE RESTCONF)
• Call live Cisco APIs with Python using the requests library — against real DevNet sandboxes at no cost
• Read and interpret YANG models, NETCONF operations, and RESTCONF JSON responses
• Work with Docker: write Dockerfiles, build images, run containers, and understand layer caching
