SD-Access Training and Certification by master instructor Punit Kumar Pandey

Here’s how SD-Access enhances network operations:

• Automation of Network Management: By automating network provisioning, SD-Access minimizes manual configuration errors and enhances efficiency in managing large-scale networks.
• Segmentation for Enhanced Security: Policies within SD-Access enable segmentation of network traffic. This ensures that user traffic, IoT devices, and application data is isolated, boosting security and preventing potential vulnerabilities.
• Policy-Based Network Management: Administrators can define and enforce policies that govern how users and devices connect to the network, including how traffic is prioritized and handled.
• Comprehensive Integration: SD-Access integrates seamlessly with Cisco’s broader technology ecosystem, including Cisco DNA (Digital Network Architecture), enhancing the overall network experience.
• Improved Security: With traffic segmentation and policy enforcement, SD-Access adds multiple layers of security, ensuring that sensitive data is protected, and network integrity is maintained.

By simplifying large-scale network management, SD-Access fosters improved network flexibility and enhanced security, making it a crucial component for modern businesses.

Prerequisites for SD-Access Deployment

Before implementing SD-Access, it’s essential to ensure the proper prerequisites are in place:

Hardware & Software Requirements: Ensure compatibility with Cisco Catalyst 9000 series switches and Catalyst 9100 series access points, with the latest IOS XE software.

Cisco DNA Center: Deploy Cisco DNA Center to centralize network management and automation. The latest version of Cisco DNA Center (1.3.3 or later) is critical for SD-Access deployment.

• Network Design & Topology: Assess your current network infrastructure and plan a topology that integrates SD-Access components efficiently.
• Security Policies & Compliance Define network segmentation and security policies while ensuring compliance with internal and external security standards.
• Staff Training: Ensure your network team is well-versed in SD-Access and Cisco DNA Center through specialized training programs and certifications.
• Integration & Connectivity to verify interoperability with existing systems and other Cisco solutions to create a fully integrated network environment.
