Growing in shallow water, kelp is often battered by waves. Growing on rocks, the colonies consist of many polyps feeding bodies within a fleshy, orange, or white base. They live in colonies where many individuals grow next to each other. Each little compartment houses one of these animals, which come out to feed, capturing food in their tiny tentacles. The colony grows as individuals bud off new individuals. Other kinds of moss animal grow upward, looking like seaweeds or corals. Some sea slugs are able to eat the stinging tentacles of anemones and keep the stings for their own protection.
Sea slug eggs hatch into swimming young, which then settle and turn into adults. Long legs Spider crabs all have long legs and look like spiders. They hide under rocks and among seaweeds on the lower shore and in shallow waters. Spider crabs make a camouflage by plucking bits of seaweed with their pincers, then attaching these bits to their shells.
They crawl over seaweeds hanging on with their claws. Spider crabs can also live on soft seabeds. Young mussels settle where another mussel is growing, so gradually a mussel layer builds up on the seabed. Other creatures live among mussels, but the pea crab takes things a stage further. Seaweed on legs as part of camouflage Horse mussel grows to 8 in 20 cm long Sharptipped claw for hanging onto seaweed Feathery tentacles held on tough, single stems Anemonelike polyp with two rings of tentacles to capture food Sea flowers The beautiful flowerlike polyps of this sea fir hydroid are used to capture food.
If disturbed, the sea fir will withdraw its polyps into its horny skeleton. Sea firs grow fixed to surfaces, such as rocks and seaweeds, putting out branched colonies of anemonelike polyps.
Some sea firs reproduce by budding off tiny jellyfish forms, which shed sperm and eggs into the water. The young sea fir then settles on the bottom. Instead, the jellyfish forms stay attached to the parent sea fir which then releases its young. Made of the skeletons of stony corals, coral reefs are cemented together by chalky algae. Most stony corals are colonies of many tiny, anemonelike individuals, called polyps. Each polyp makes its own hard limestone cup skeleton which protects its soft body.
To make their skeletons, the coral polyps need the help of microscopic, single-celled algae that live inside them. The algae need sunlight to grow, which is why coral reefs are found only in s u n ny, surface waters. In return for giving the algae a home, corals get some food from them but also capture plankton with their tentacles. Only the upper layer of a reef is made of living corals, which build upon skeletons of dead polyps.
Coral reefs are also home to soft corals and sea fans, which do not have stony skeletons. Related to sea anemones and jellyfish, corals grow in an exquisite variety of shapes mushroom, daisy, staghorn and some have colorful skeletons.
Mouth also expels waste Hard plates of stony skeleton Baglike stomach Inside a coral animal In a hard coral, a layer of tissue joins each polyps to its neighbor. To reproduce, they divide in two or release eggs and sperm into the water. Known as fire corals, they have potent stings on their polyps. Black coral In living black corals, the skeleton provides support for the living tissues and the branches bear rows of anemonelike polyps.
Black corals are mainly found in tropical waters, growing in the deep part of coral reefs. Although they take a long time to grow, the black skeleton is sometimes used to make jewelry. Intricate mesh developed to withstand strong currents 22 Stem of sea fan Sea fan Sea fans are gorgonian corals that have soft tissues growing around a central horny or chalky skeleton. They are more closely related to sea pens, organ-pipe coral, and soft corals than to true stony corals.
Most kinds live in tropical waters where they often grow on coral reefs. Some sea fans form branching, treelike shapes left , but in others the branches join together to form a broad, fan-shaped network.
Fringing reef grows around volcano As volcano subsides lagoon appears, creating barrier reef Volcano disappears, leaving behind coral atoll Atoll in the making An atoll is a ring of coral islands formed around a central lagoon. Charles Darwin —82 thought atolls were formed by a reef growing around a volcanic island which then subsided beneath the surface, a theory later proved to be correct.
Each colony is made of millions of tiny animals, each living in one unit in its leaflike structure. Anemonelike polyps grow in rows along the channels in its skeleton. Brain corals are slow-growing stony corals, increasing in width just over an inch each year. Over 1, miles 2, km long, it is the largest structure in the world made by living organisms. Of the kinds of coral, many spawn on the same night after a full Moon, the water resembling an underwater snowstorm.
Its anemonelike polyps emerge from each of the tiny pipes in the skeleton. Organ-pipe coral is not a true stony coral, but a relative of sea fans, soft coral, and sea pens.
Mantle Life on a coral reef Coral reefs have an amazing variety of marine life, from teeming multitudes of brightly colored fish to giant clams wedged into rocks. Every The giant blue clam grows to about 1 ft 30 cm bit of space on the reef provides a hiding long, but the largest giant clams may reach over 3 ft 1 m. The colorful mantle exposed at the place or shelter for some animal or plant.
The clam absorbs emerge from coral caves and crevices nutrients from the growing crop of algae. All the living organisms on the reef depend for their survival on the stony corals which recycle the scarce nutrients from the clear, blue, tropical waters.
Sadly, in spite of being one of the great natural wonders of the world, coral reefs are now under threat. Destruction is caused by reefs being broken up for building materials, damaged by snorkelers and divers touching or treading on them, dynamited by fishermen, ripped up by souvenir collectors, covered by soil eroded by the destruction of rain forests, and polluted by sewage and oil spills.
Many sea slugs living on coral reefs feed on corals, but the lettuce slug feeds on algae growing on the reef by sucking the sap from individual cells. Side fin used to steer and change direction Living in harmony Clown fish which shelter in anemones live on coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Unlike other fish, clown fish are not stung by their anemone home. Clown fish seldom venture far from their anemone home for fear of attack by other fish.
There are different kinds of clown fish, some living only with certain kinds of anemones. This date mussel makes its home by producing chemicals to wear a hole in the hard coral. Like most clams, the mussel feeds by collecting food particles from water passing through its gills.
The young emperor angelfish looks quite different from the adult, possibly because its colors protect it better. Once the adults pair up, they establish a territory on the reef where they can feed. Their colors and patterns help other emperors to recognize them, so they can see their patch of the reef is occupied.
Like many other starfish, it feeds by turning its stomach inside out, making enzymes to digest its prey. Crown-of-thorns starfish eating coral Tentacles around mouth used for feeding Tentacles can be pulled back inside body for protection Tough skin Lettuce slug breathes through its skin, which looks like the leaf of a plant Colorful cucumber Special fat tentacles for smelling food One of five rows of tubefeet helps sea cucumber crawl One of the most colorful kinds of sea cucumber lives on or close to reefs in the Indo-Pacific region.
Sea cucumbers are echinoderms pp. The sea cucumber puts out its sticky tentacles to feed on small particles of food. Once the food has stuck onto the mucus on the tentacle, it is placed inside the mouth and the food removed. Sea meadows The most abundant plants in the ocean are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Often single-celled, these minute, floating plants are called phytoplankton. With the right conditions, phytoplankton multiply quickly— within a few days—as each cell divides into two, and so on.
To grow, phytoplankton need nutrients from seawater and lots of sunlight. Spectacular phytoplankton blooms are found in cooler waters where nutrients dead plant and animal waste are brought up from the bottom during storms, and in both cool and warm waters where there are upwellings of nutrient-rich water. Phytoplankton are eaten by swarms of tiny, drifting animals zooplankton , which provide a feast for small fish such as herring , which in turn are eaten by larger fish such as salmon , which in their turn are eaten by still larger fish or other predators such as dolphins.
Some larger ocean animals whale sharks and blue whales feed directly on zooplankton. Diatoms are the most common kinds of phytoplankton in cooler waters, but dinoflagellates, called single-celled plants, are common in tropical waters. Many diatoms are single cells, but this one consists of a chain of cells. Older stage crab larva showing pincers In the net Plankton nets are towed behind a ship or hung from a pier.
Studying plankton is important because commercial fish stocks are affected by how much plankton there is for young fish to eat. Very fine mesh net for catching tiny plants and animals drifting in the ocean Younger stage crab larva Ocean in bloom Images from data collected from a space satellite Nimbus 7 show densities of phytoplankton in the Atlantic Ocean.
Red shows where phytoplankton is densest through yellow, green, blue to violet where phytoplankton is least dense. A second, smaller bloom of phytoplankton occurs in the fall.
Dolphins fall prey to larger animals like killer whales, while the fish they eat hunt smaller fry. Few ocean animals feed on just one type of food, but almost all must rely on plants. Copepod water flea Younger stage crab larva Younger stage crab larva Copepod water flea Shrimp Younger stage crab larva A sample of zooplankton collected from the north Atlantic coast of Scotland Younger stage crab larva Young fish Younger stage crab larva Opossum shrimp Copepod water flea Plenty of plankton A great variety of zooplankton drift in the ocean.
Some are plant-eaters feeding on smaller phytoplankton. Among the most abundant plant-eaters are copepods and tiny crustaceans animals with jointed limbs, like crabs. Young stages of crabs and shrimp go through several forms while in the plankton before settling on the seabed. Some have spikes on their bodies for floating, which also make them awkward to eat.
Many fish not sharks also start off life in plankton. First they feed on their egg sac, then on other types of plankton. There are also many carnivores meat-eaters Cooperative feeding in the ocean. Some, such as blue sharks and Humpback whales herd shoals of fish by letting out bubbles as they swim around them. Opening barracuda, are swift hunters, while others, their mouths wide to gulp in food and water, they retain fish but such as anglerfish and sea anemones, set expel water through traps for their prey waiting with snapping sievelike baleen plates in their jaws or stinging tentacles respectively.
Many animals strain food out of the water Caught by slime from the humble sea fan to giant baleen Unlike many jellyfish that trap prey with their stinging tentacles, whales. Seabirds also find their meals in common jellyfish catch small the ocean diving for a beakful of prey. Some ocean animals are omnivores— Tiny prey The four fleshy arms beneath the caught in they eat both plants and animals.
Dorsal fin runs along entire length of body Fang face The wolf fish has strong, fanglike teeth for crunching through the hard shells of crabs, sea urchins, and mussels. As the front set are worn down each year, or broken, they are replaced by a new set which grow in behind the old teeth.
Wolf fish live in cool, deep, northern waters where they lurk in rocky holes. Crooked, yellow fanglike teeth Pectoral fin Tough, wrinkled skin helps protect wolf fish living near the seabed 28 Spines to protect urchin Grazing away The European common sea urchin grazes on seaweeds and animals such as sea mats that grow on the surface of seaweeds. The grazing activities of urchins can control how much seaweed grows in an area, so if too many urchins are collected for food or tourist souvenirs, a rocky reef can become overgrown by seaweed.
Like all pelicans, the brown pelican has a big beak with a large flap of skin or pouch to capture a variety of fish. Once they have spotted their prey, they dive into the water, but are too bulky to dive too far below the surface. Only brown pelicans dive for their prey. When the pelican surfaces, water is drained from the pouch and the fish swallowed.
This shark can eat almost anything from hard-shelled turtles to soft-bodied seals and seabirds. Stinging tentacle Any undigested pieces of food are ejected through the mouth Suckerlike disk lets Dahlia anemone attach to any hard surface 29 The flowerlike Dahlia anemones are deadly traps for unwary prawns and small fish that stray too close to their stinging tentacles. When the prey brushes past, hundreds of nematocysts stinging cells are triggered and fire their stings.
These stings ensnare and weaken the prey. Homes and hiding Staying hidden is one of the best means of defense— if a predator cannot see you, it cannot eat you!
Many sea animals shelter among seaweeds, in rocky crevices, or under the sand. Matching the colors and even the texture of the background also helps sea creatures remain undetected. The sargassum fish even looks like bits of seaweed. Hard shells are useful armor, at least giving protection from weak-jawed predators. Sea snails and clams make their own shells that cover the body.
Crab and lobsters have outer shells, like suits of armor, covering the body and each jointed limb. The hermit crab is unusual because only the front part of the body and the legs are covered by a hard shell. Its abdomen is soft, so a hermit crab uses the empty shell of a sea snail to protect itself. Blending in What a weed This fish lives among floating clumps of sargassum seaweed, where frilly growths on its head, body, and fins help it avoid being seen by predators, making a realistic disguise.
Many different animals live in sargassum seaweed, which drifts in large quantities in the Sargasso Sea of the North Atlantic. Cuttlefish have different colored pigments and rapidly change color to escape predators. Their eyes perceive their surroundings and nerve signals are sent by the brain to tiny bags of pigment in the skin. Cuttlefish becomes darker when pigment bags expand Hermit crab leaving old whelk shell Investigating its new home by checking size with its claws Hermit crab can be persuaded to move into a perspex shell so its movements can be viewed Anemone When out of its shell, crab is vulnerable to predators All change Like all crustaceans, a hermit crab grows by shedding its hard, outer skeleton and does this within the safety of its snail shell home.
As it grows larger, it needs to find a larger snail shell to move into. Before leaving its old shell, it will test the size of a new home. If it is not large enough or is cracked, the hermit crab looks for another shell. When the hermit crab has found one which is just right, it carefully pulls its body out of its old shell, tucking it quickly into the new shell.
As the hermit crab grows larger it moves into large whelk shells and lives in shallow water submerged on the seabed. Leg with pointed claws to get a grip on seabed when walking 30 Antenna Points on bottom edge help raise shell off seabed Abdomen brought forward to shell opening to deposit droppings, so crab does not foul its shell Tip of abdomen the tail-end of the body has an appendage to grip inner whorl of shell Shells on shells Carrier shells are sea snails that attach empty shells and bits of hard debris, including corals, pebbles, and even broken glass, to their own shells.
This disguise is to hide them from predators such as fish. The extra projections may make it more difficult for predators to crack open the shells to reach the soft meat inside. Others just place anemones on top of their shells using their stings for protection, while the anemone picks up scraps of food from the crab. Worms sometimes make their homes inside the shell of the hermit crab, even stealing food from them. When it grows larger, the hermit crab usually lives in whelk shells.
Hermit crabs carry their homes around with them and females of the species rear the eggs inside their shells. Large pincer, or cheliped, used to block entrance to shell, so providing extra security 31 Attack and defense Many sea creatures have weapons to defend themselves from predators or to attack prey. Some produce venom poison for defense and often advertise their danger with distinctive markings. Stonefish are armed with venomous spines, too, blending perfectly with their background when waiting on a reef for prey to swim by.
Octopuses change color to that of their background. If attacked, the blue-ringed octopus produces blue spots to warn that its bite is poisonous. Disappearing in a cloud of ink is another useful trick used by octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish. But no defense method is foolproof. Even the most venomous jellyfish can be eaten by carnivorous turtles that are immune to their stings.
Deadly stonefish The stonefish is one of the most deadly creatures in the ocean. Ink cloud forming around cuttlefish Long, dorsal spine with venom glands in grooves Ink screen Cephalopods, which include cuttlefish, squid, and octopuses, produce a cloud of ink when threatened, to confuse an enemy and allow time for escape. The ink, produced in a gland linked to the gut, is ejected in a blast of water from a tubelike funnel near its head.
Horny projection above eye Maerl a chalky, red seaweed grows in a thick mass along the stony seabed Three venomous anal spines Blue for danger If this octopus becomes irritated, or when it is feeding, blue-ringed spots appear on its skin, warning of its poisonous bite.
One kind of blue-ringed octopus lives in cool shallow waters around parts of Australia. Others are found in tropical waters. Keep clear The striped body of lionfish warns predators that they are dangerous. A predator trying to bite a lionfish may be impaled by one or more of its poisonous spines. If it survives, the predator will remember the danger and leave the lionfish alone in future.
Lionfish can swim openly looking for smaller prey with little risk of attack. They live in tropical waters from the Indian to the Pacific Oceans. In spite of being poisonous, they are popular aquarium fish because of their beauty. Stripes warn predators that lionfish is dangerous 32 Painting of sea monsters, c. If stepped on, shooting pains occur in the foot for over an hour, but, after several hours, the pain gradually wears off.
Something scary Early sailors knew that some creatures living in the sea were dangerous and could kill people. Tales about these sea monsters, though common, often became greatly exaggerated.
Monster stories were also invented to account for ships that foundered due to dangerous sea conditions. Its stings produce horrible welts on anyone who comes in contact with their tentacles.
A badly stung person can die in four minutes. Tentacles always on show Shaggy shells These gaping file shells cannot withdraw their masses of orange tentacles inside the two halves of their shell for protection, so the tentacles produce a sour-tasting, sticky substance to deter predators. If tentacles are nibbled off, they can regrow. Gaping file shells build homes in seaweed, by putting out byssus threads for anchorage.
If dislodged from their homes, they can move by expelling water from their shell and using their tentacles like oars. Shell is up to 1 in 2. Some mollusks, such as clams, squid, and octopuses, do this by squirting water from the body cavity. Jet propulsion can be used both for swimming and to help mollusks escape from predators. Squid are best at jet propulsion— their bodies are permanently streamlined to reduce drag resistance to water.
Some kinds of scallops also use jet propulsion and are among the few clams that can swim. Most clams bivalves with shells in two halves can only bury themselves in the sand, or are anchored to the seabed. The common octopus lives on the rocky seabed in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean and Caribbean seas.
If attacked, it can jet off. Jet propulsion The engines powering jet planes produce jets of air to fly in much the same way that octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish produce jets of water to propel themselves through the sea.
Tentacle tales A Norwegian story tells of the Kraken, a giant sea monster that wrapped its arms around ships before sinking them.
The legend may be based on the mysterious giant squid which live in deep waters. Dead individuals sometimes are seen washed up on the shore. In the first living one was caught in the depths by one of its tentacles and photographed as it escaped. Funnel Long arms to grasp prey 1The common octopus On the bottom hides during the day in its rocky lair, coming out at night to look for such food as crustaceans.
The octopus slowly approaches its prey, then pounces, wrapping it between the webbing at the base of its arms. The funnel can be bent so the jet of water can be aimed backward or forward, to control the direction in which the octopus heads off. Powerful suckers grip the rock, so octopus can pull itself along Sucker is sensitive to touch and taste 34 3 If threatened, the octopus jets off, making its baglike body streamlined to reduce drag in the Tentacles trail out behind body, when octopus takes off Eye is similar to human eye and is used to spot prey Fast retreat water.
It takes water into the body cavity, forcing it out through the funnel. Octopuses may also eject a cloud of ink to confuse any attackers. To move slowly off the bottom, the octopus squirts water gently out of its funnel, but to travel at speed it moves with its arms trailing behind.
When swimming from place to place, streams of water are aimed out of the back of the shell on either side of the hinge. Shoals of scallops may take off and swim together. If a predator approaches, such as a starfish, the scallop shoots a jet of water out of the front of the shell and zips off with the hinge in front. Scallops on the seabed 35 Scallop partly open Sensory tentacles Moving along Every swimmer knows that it is harder to move an arm or a Flying fish Gathering speed underwater, flying fish leap clear of the surface to escape predators, then glide for more than 30 seconds by spreading out the side fins.
At school Fish often swim together in a shoal or school like these blue-striped snappers , where a single fish has less chance of being attacked by a predator than when swimming on its own. The moving mass of individuals may confuse a predator and also there are more pairs of eyes on the lookout for an attacker.
This is because seawater is much denser than air. To be a fast swimmer like a dolphin, tuna, or sailfish, it helps to have a shape that is streamlined like a torpedo to reduce drag resistance to water.
A smooth skin and few projections from the body allow an animal to move through the water more easily. The heaviest animal that ever lived on Earth is the blue whale, which weighs up to tons metric tons. Some heavy-shelled creatures, like the chambered nautilus, have gas-filled floats to stop them from sinking.
Some ocean animals, such as dolphins and flying fish, get up enough speed under water to leap briefly into the air, but not all ocean animals are good swimmers. Many can only swim slowly, some drift along in the currents, crawl along the bottom, burrow in the sand, or stay put, anchored to the seabed.
There are about 20 members of the electric ray family, mostly living in warm waters. Waves pass from the front to the back of the pectoral fins which, in larger rays such as mantas, become so exaggerated that the fins actually beat up and down. Some electric rays can grow to 6 ft 1.
They move by beating their back flippers and tail from side to side. Their nostrils are closed to prevent water entering the airways. Harbor seals right can dive to ft 90 m , but the champion seal diver is the elephant seal, diving to over 5, ft 1, m.
Seals do not get the bends because their lungs collapse early in the dive and, unlike humans, they do not breathe compressed air. When underwater, seals use oxygen stored in the blood. As they became adapted to life in the sea, the limbs became modified into flippers and, eventually, the hind limbs were lost. The upper and lower arm bones are short and the five digits are widely spread to support the broad flipper.
They can also porpoise skim over water for short distances , when moving quickly, because it is easier to move in the air than in water, since there is less friction on their bodies. Nautili are cephalopods pp.
Like other cephalopods, they move by jet propulsion. These goose barnacles can drift long distance on pieces of wood. Barnacles are crustaceans like crabs and lobsters and have jointed limbs. To protect their bodies and limbs, barnacles have a set of shelllike plates. Whales, like the humpback, are known for feeding in the cold, food-rich waters of the far north or south, traveling to the warm waters of the tropics to breed and give birth. Many long-distance voyagers, such as turtles, seals, and seabirds, feed out at sea, but come ashore to breed.
Freshwater eels are unusual because they go to the ocean to breed, then their young travel back to rivers where they grow to maturity. Salmon do the reverse, growing in the ocean and returning to rivers to breed. Ocean travelers often make use of currents to speed them on their way. Even animals that cannot swim can travel far and wide by hitching a ride on another animal or by drifting along on a piece of wood.
Larger eyes form when adult eel migrates to sea Leaflike larva young , called Leptocephalus Skin turns silver before eel migrates back to Sargasso Sea Back pair of flippers used as rudders to steer turtle along Broad surface of front flipper for ease of swimming. Trailing tentacles armed with vicious stings Young eels, known as elvers or glass eels Mysterious journey For centuries, no one knew where European eels went to breed, only that young eels returned in large numbers to the rivers.
In the late s, scientists found leaflike larvae in the sea which developed into elvers. Later they found that the smallest larvae came from the Sargasso Sea in the western Atlantic where adult eels may breed at depth. The larvae then drift with currents back to the European coast where they turn into elvers. Portuguese man-of-war Not a true jellyfish but a siphonophore a relative of sea firs , the man-of-war has a gas-filled float which keeps it at the surface where it is blown by the wind and drifts with the currents.
Usually found in warm waters, it can be carried to cooler waters and washed ashore after storms. Like all turtles, they come ashore to lay their eggs. Number of IP pools per site 4.

Introduction Cisco DNA Center is a powerful network controller and management dashboard that lets you take charge of your network, optimize your Cisco investment, and lower your IT spending. Figure 1. Figure 2. Feature Description and benefits Network discovery Automatically discovers and maps network devices to a physical topology with detailed device-level data.
Feature Description and benefits Network and Client Health dashboards Assurance dashboards that give a high-level overview of the health of every network device and client on the network, wired and wireless. Application Health dashboard Provides a general overview of the health of all applications on the network.
Wi-Fi 6 Readiness dashboard Prepares your network for the new Wi-Fi standard, verifying your hardware and configuration compatibility and checking your capacity readiness. Power over Ethernet analytics Provides visibility into the power loads that a switch is experiencing. Device and Client Provide assurance and overall health of devices, including parameters such as memory or CPU utilization, uplink availability, and other KPIs to help operators be more proactive and enable them to predict future issues.
Path trace Allows the operator to visualize the path of an application or service from the client through all devices and to the server.
AI-driven technologies can learn the user trends, services, and application metrics that are specific to your network. Cisco DNA Assurance can then create a customized performance curve for analytical decisions. The AI-driven baseline for the performance parameters that are unique to your network is constantly adapted as your network grows and changes. From there, the AI-driven analytics engine both on premises and in the Cisco cloud can make accurate decisions for what is normal and what is not, based on this personalized baseline.
The system can accurately detect performance issues and ignore unusual but harmless network anomalies. This reduces noise while accurately identifying anomalies that have the greatest impact on your network. AI-driven predictive analytics and proactive insights allow users to anticipate and prevent failures. The machine learning engine can predict increases in Wi-Fi interference, onboarding delays, office traffic load, etc.
This is because, in IP networks, a problematic event is often preceded by a benign event or series of events. By learning how series of events are correlated to one another, predictive analytics can help network administrators anticipate the unexpected. This helps users detect issues and vulnerabilities, perform complex root cause analysis using a Machine Reasoning Engine , and execute corrective actions faster than ever.
In coming releases, we will enable machine reasoning to execute the logical troubleshooting steps that an engineer would perform in order to resolve a problem. Both of these capabilities accelerate remediation, making your team more precise in problem solving and more productive overall.
Granular multilevel segmentation SD-Access, through Cisco DNA Center, creates virtual overlays over the underlying physical infrastructure and segments the network without regard to its topology. It simplifies fabric site design, routing convergence, and troubleshooting tasks.
Customers can deploy an automated network fabric and use macro-segmentation with virtual networks without ISE. This allows network connectivity and management of IoT devices and the deployment of traditional enterprise end devices in outdoor and noncarpeted environments such as distribution centers, warehouses, or campus parking lots.
Backup and restore Supports complete backup and restore of the entire database for added protection. Activity center The activity center is a centralized space to find audit logs and scheduled tasks.
