This lab introduces Cisco AI Analytics and its role in network operations. You’ll use production-like data to explore assurance use cases (AI-driven anomaly detection and issues, baseline dashboards, AP performance advisories, and Event Analytics) and security use cases (AI Endpoint Analytics Smart Grouping and Spoofing Detection). The guide walks through monitoring, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and endpoint visibility so you can see how AI/ML is applied in Cisco Catalyst Center and what to expect on a live network.
