Software Defined Network on CML - what are the capabilities

[Ivan Mamka]

Hi,

I would like to continue question [1] asked by atwizrane:

"I would like to know whether CML 2 will help me build LABs for ACI,SD-Access,SD-WAN. or it has limitations?"

In one of answers [1] below was mentioned that it will require a lot of processing power. I have a server with two Xeon processors 16 cores + 147 GB of ram.

My question: If I purchase CML, will all images/software be included to build let's say SD-ACCESS? (vManage/vEdge/vBond,etc)

Or in other words: what are the capabilities of CML in regards to SDN?

I'm looking something complex for my college project, so considering to emulate some type of SDN with automation.

For the SD-Access Solution you need to have a DNA Center to configure the fabric. I imagine you could configure an SD Access fabric on virtual switches within CML but I personally have not tried it.
