DNA Center

[EddieRodriguez9237]

Hi,

I have a question regarding DNA center. I have sites with C9K switches with the DNA subscription and I wanted to see how can I get them started with the solution, my question is, can DNA be implemented without DNA Center?

Thanks

YES you can deploy Manually SD-Access but lot of Manual TASK, its not worth (because managing very hard) - i tried some with out DNAC but not worth of wasting time.

Lot of Command syntax changed now compare to OLD 1.3X  to 2.1X DNAC.

Agreed.  The juice is not worth the squeeze.  I would recommend planning deployment with items such as the following:

IP scheme

IOS versions you intend to run

ISE version you intend to run

DNAC intended version

Underlay route protocol

DNAC will automate a lot of "under the hood" configuration.  Lastly, take a peek at the following as this should help:

Cisco SD-Access Resources - Cisco Community

HTH!
