Explore Cisco SD Access Lab (Pod 1)
Solution Overview
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.
