End-to-end workflow

How the work moves from signal to outcome.

Stages come from the reference scenario for this application. Each is tagged by who performs it: agent reasoning, governed automation, or human control.

  1. 01

    Agent retrieves configurations from Cisco switches, routers and wireless controllers

    Governed automation

  2. 02

    Evaluates them against the organization's Cisco NRA standards and approved golden templates

    Human control

  3. 03

    Detects unauthorized changes, missing security settings and configuration inconsistencies

    Agent reasoning

  4. 04

    Generates approved remediation commands

    Human control

  5. 05

    Deploys fixes

    Governed automation

  6. 06

    Validates post-change network health

    Governed automation

  7. Every step is logged; exceptions route to the responsible owner.

Security and governance

  • Define which roles can view, approve and change records — typically owned by the CIO / VP Network Engineering organisation.
  • Set approval checkpoints for consequential actions in this workflow before enabling automation.
  • Restrict agent actions to an approved list per connected system, using least-privilege credentials.
  • Retain an audit trail of evidence, decisions and actions; route exceptions to named owners.

Specific platform controls are confirmed against Fynite's security documentation during evaluation.

Implementation considerations

  • Access to Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco IOS XE, Cisco Meraki Dashboard with an agreed data scope.
  • Business rules and thresholds behind each stage, validated with process owners.
  • Baseline values for Golden configuration compliance % and network configuration drift.
  • Test cases covering normal, incomplete-data and exception paths before production.
