Catalyst Center (2.3.7.x) - which applications for SD-ACCESS ?

shlomim — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 15:27:52 GMT

I understand that in order to deploy SD- ACCESS I need to install a few Applications in the DNA Center.

according to this old document

I need to install "Access Control Application", "SD Access" and "Group Based Policy Analytics"

since this document refers to version 1.x - I was wondering if there is an up to date document you can refer me to ?

any information would be great !

gDay @shlomim. U don’t need to install any SD-Access apps anymore, in current Catalyst Center versions everything is built-in. So the up-to-date document that replaces the old 1.x guide is: (SD-Access Deployment Using Cisco Catalyst Center (CVD);;;;;;; https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/cloud-systems-management/network-automation-and-management/catalyst-center/cisco-validated-solution-profiles/validated-profile-sda-deployment.html#Deploy

So just open that CVD and use the Deploy section, that’s the modern equivalent of the old SD-Access app-installation steps......

hope it helps and pEACE!

Hi Enes thanks for your response.

Can you please confirm if this is true for vDNAC as well and if yes in which exact version ?
