Deploying and Configuring Cisco SD-ACCESS
Overview
Cisco SD-Access fabric on real Catalyst hardware with Catalyst Center as controller: underlay, overlay, fabric roles and policy, the parts of SD-Access that are hardest to get right off a slide deck.
Images included
- Catalyst 9000v switch images in edge, border and control-plane fabric roles
- A live Cisco Catalyst Center appliance as the SD-Access controller
- Endpoint host images attached to the fabric for policy testing
Environment & resources
A physical fabric of Catalyst switches with Catalyst Center as the SD-Access controller, running real underlay and overlay traffic so fabric provisioning and policy actually take effect on hardware.
Full controller stacks: the scale most home labs can never reach. Catalyst Center itself is sourced as a dedicated appliance rather than a shared image.
FAQ
Is Catalyst Center included?
Yes, this lab uses the same live Catalyst Center controller as the flagship Catalyst Center demo.
What's the difference between this and SD-ACCESS-ADV?
This lab covers core fabric deployment; SD-ACCESS-ADV goes into multi-site fabric, transit and advanced policy scenarios.
