The Implementing Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches (ENC9K) Learning Path provides you with an insight into Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches and its solution components. It also covers inclusion of Silicon One ASICs for Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series switches. 

Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches are the next generation in the legendary Cisco Catalyst family of enterprise LAN access, aggregation, and core switches. They are purpose built from the ground up for the new realities of the digital era. They are twice as fast, with twice the capacity, providing end-to-end security, and automation using centralized management using Cisco DNA Center. Cisco Catalyst 9000 switches lead the industry with the first 400G interfaces in enterprise computing, first Silicon One ASICs for campus, full multigigabit and UPoE+ ports, converged switching and routing. This Learning Path also earns you 18 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
