Cisco offers AgenticOps — an AI-driven IT operations framework that allows network engineers to automate complex network management tasks like switch migrations, Wi-Fi setup, and security policy deployment using natural language prompts, with AI agents executing the changes across Cisco's networking platforms.
Details
AgenticOps is built on Cisco's proprietary Deep Network Model, a large language model trained specifically on networking data from Cisco's 40-year product history and real-world support cases. The Cisco AI Assistant, integrated into Meraki and Catalyst Center dashboards, takes natural language input from IT staff and produces automated configuration changes, troubleshooting diagnoses, and network management actions across multiple platforms simultaneously. Cisco's blog states that tasks like 'NAC configurations or switch migrations that used to take hours' can now be 'triggered by a simple prompt and completed in minutes.' The AI Canvas, introduced at Cisco Live 2025, is a shared workspace that unifies real-time telemetry from Meraki, ThousandEyes, Splunk, and other tools to support collaborative cross-domain troubleshooting.
