Alternative of Cisco Instant access on Catalyst 9/3K

[Deepak Kumar]

Hi,

There is confusion. Yesterday I had discussed with Cisco SE and he told me that there is a possibility of Cisco Instant access on Catalyst 9K/5K with DNA/SD-access license without DNA center and ISE.

Can anyone help me what is this technology and share any URL.

Deepak, I believe this product line add-on was completely retired. I personally do not see a market for people using IAC in places where the Catalyst 9K/3K line would be deployed. IAC was the Catalyst BU attempt at matching the scalability of the Nexus FEX, which was been wildly more successful. When searching for Instant Access Client, I see no data whatsoever to support your Cisco SE's comment. I do see the retirement notice for the IAC here on Cisco's webpage.

Hope this helps. If you need IAC, you should move to the Nexus suite of hardware. Just my opinion. Take care and please rate/mark if helpful/solved.
