Explore Cisco SD Access Lab (Pod 1)

DNA Center is the central management, automation and monitoring point for an intent-based Cisco campus network. Although it is often associated with Software-Defined Access (SDA), it is a very compelling product for management of traditional network technologies as well.  Some of the benefits include: 

Automation 

• Centralized device management
• Manage wired and/or wireless configurations
• Definition and configuration of common user policy everywhere using a single fabric across wired and wireless infrastructure
• Image management (updating or patching)
• Future proof – management of campus fabric (software-defined access)
• Deploying QoS easily, standardizing configuration without templates
• Plug-and-play for zero touch provisioning of new devices

Assurance 

• Health scores (network, end user and application)
• Top issues
• Network assurance
• Insights – recommended actions for detected issues
• Automated sensors

This lab will provide a fully configured SD-Access fabric for exploration or demonstration purposes, but can also be modified if desired. DNA Foundation labs provide the opportunity to configure the fabric from a clean slate.
