Cisco Catalyst Center Expert Needed

I’m rolling out Cisco Catalyst Center (DNAC) in our enterprise and want a seasoned pair of hands to guide the process from day one. The immediate focus is on a clean, fully-functional deployment, including installing the appliance, integrating it with our existing Catalyst switches, and validating services such as Assurance, Automation and Software Image Management. Once it is online, I’ll lean on you for streamlined provisioning workflows and for on-the-spot troubleshooting whenever something misbehaves.

Selected focus areas
• Deployment (highest priority)
• Provisioning
• Troubleshooting

You should already have real-world DNAC installs under your belt and be comfortable designing routing and switching architectures that play nicely with it. An active CCIE or CCNP is strongly preferred because we’ll be dealing with advanced routing protocols, fabric overlays, and change-control in a live environment.

Scope at a glance
– Assist with the initial setup and configuration of Cisco Catalyst Center.
– Integrate the platform with our existing enterprise routing & switching stack.
– Build and document repeatable provisioning templates and policies.
– Provide ad-hoc troubleshooting support during and after go-live.

Acceptance criteria
1. DNAC appliances fully deployed, patched, and reachable via GUI/CLI.
2. Core and access switches discovered, classified, and assigned correct site hierarchy.
3. Successful zero-touch or template-based provisioning demonstrated on at least two device types.
4. Troubleshooting runbooks handed over for common failure scenarios.

If this matches your hands-on expertise, let’s move forward. Please share a brief outline of similar DNAC projects you’ve led and your current Cisco certification level when you reply.
