Learning objectives
When you finish this unit, you will be able to:
- Describe the capabilities of Cisco collaboration platforms and APIs (Webex Teams, Webex devices, Cisco Unified Communication Manager including AXL and UDS interfaces, and Finesse).
- Describe the capabilities of Cisco security platforms and APIs (Firepower, Umbrella, AMP, ISE, and ThreatGrid).
- Describe the device level APIs and dynamic interfaces for IOS XE and NX-OS.
Collaboration and security platforms
Collaboration APIs
- Webex Teams: spaces, messages, and participants.
- Webex devices: device management and control.
- CUCM: AXL and UDS interfaces for call management.
- Finesse: contact center agent desktop integration.
Security APIs
- Firepower: next-generation firewall management.
- Umbrella: DNS-layer security.
- AMP: advanced malware protection.
- ISE: identity services engine for access control.
- ThreatGrid: malware analysis and threat intelligence.
Device-level APIs
IOS XE and NX-OS provide device-level APIs and dynamic interfaces for programmatic configuration and monitoring.
Exam focus: identify which collaboration or security platform fits a given automation scenario.
