What’s different in SD-Access from campus fabric?

[Jessica Deaken]

I would like to better understand what is different on SD-Access. Can anybody explain or provide any pointers?

Thank you

Jessica

SD-Access is the automated version of campus fabric. It uses LISP for control-plane and VxLAN for data-plane traffic. In traditional campus fabric you needed to do the configuration manually, but by using SD-Access you have a controller (Called DNA Center) that will take care of automating your overlay as long as you have layer 3 connectivity among your fabric devices.

For more informaiton regarding sd-access, please check "CTHCRS-1800 - Cisco SD-Access - Building the Fabric Demonstration" from ciscolive.com. We'll be adding content in supportforums.cisco.com but in the meantime, it will give you a good idea on what SD-Access is capable of doing.

This link is the best content as far Cisco gave publicly regarding DNA Center.

SD-Access enables policy-based, automated network enforcement for access, security, application quality, and monitoring across all network domains. 

SD-Access is the foundation of Cisco DNA.DNA-center plays as automation & orchestrate tool to build campus fabric network
