SD-Access Architecture
What if you could give time back to IT? Provide network access in minutes for any user or device to any
application – without compromise? SD-Access is the industry’s first policy-based automation from network
edge to cloud. Your foundation for your digital network, Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access). Built on
the principles of the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA™), SD-Access provides end-to-end
segmentation to keep user, device and application traffic separate without a redesign of the network. It
automates user access policy so organizations can make sure the right policies are set for any user or device
with any application across the network. This is accomplished with a single network fabric across LAN and
WLAN which creates a consistent user experience anywhere without compromising on security.
There are many challenges today in managing the network to drive business outcomes. These limitations are
due to manual configuration and fragmented tool offerings. SD-Access provides:
●
A transformational management solution that reduces operational expenses and enhances business
agility
●
Consistent management of wired and wireless network provisioning and policy
●
Automated network segmentation and group-based policy
●
Contextual insights for fast issue resolution and capacity planning
●
Open and programmable interfaces for integration with third-party solutions
For an overview of key use-cases SD-Access addresses, refer to SD-Access Solution Overview.
Platform Benefits
Cisco IOS XE opens a completely new paradigm in network configuration, operation, and monitoring
through network automation. Cisco’s automation solution is open, standards-based, and extensible across
the entire lifecycle of a network device. The various automation mechanisms are outlined below.
●
Automated device provisioning is the ability to automate the process of upgrading software images
and installing configuration files on Cisco Catalyst switches when they are being deployed in the
network for the first time. Cisco provides both turnkey solutions such as Plug and Play and off-theshelf tools such as Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) that
enable an effortless and automated deployment.
●
API-driven configuration is available with modern network switches such as the Cisco Catalyst 9300
Series. It supports a wide range of automation features and provides robust open APIs over NETCONF
and RESTCONF using YANG data models for external tools, both off-the-shelf and custom built, to
automatically provision network resources.
© 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information. Page 10 of 35
●
Granular visibility enables model-driven telemetry to stream data from a switch to a destination. The
data to be streamed is identified through subscription to a data set in a YANG model. The subscribed
data set is streamed to the destination at specified intervals. Additionally, Cisco IOS XE enables the
push model. It provides near-real-time monitoring of the network, leading to quick detection and
rectification of failures.
●
Seamless software upgrades and patching supports OS resilience. Cisco IOS XE supports patching,
which provides fixes for critical bugs and security vulnerabilities between regular maintenance releases.
This support lets you add patches without having to wait for the next maintenance release.
Security
●
Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) is a unique capability for identifying malware in encrypted traffic
coming from the access layer. Since more and more traffic is becoming encrypted, the visibility this
feature affords for threat detection is critical for keeping your network secure at different layers.
●
AES-256 MACsec encryption is the IEEE 802.1AE standard for authenticating and encrypting packets
between switches. The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches support 256-bit and 128-bit Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES), providing the most secure link encryption.
●
Trustworthy systems built with Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies provide a highly secure
foundation for Cisco products. With The Catalyst 9300 Series, these technologies enable hardware and
software authenticity assurance for supply chain trust and strong mitigation against man-in-themiddle attacks that compromise software and firmware. Trust Anchor capabilities include:
◦ Image signing: Cryptographically signed images provide assurance that the firmware, BIOS, and other
software are authentic and unmodified. As the system boots, the system’s software signatures are
checked for integrity.
◦ Secure Boot: Cisco Secure Boot technology anchors the boot sequence chain of trust to immutable
hardware, mitigating threats against a system’s foundational state and the software that is to be loaded,
regardless of a user’s privilege level. It provides layered protection against the persistence of illicitly
modified firmware.
◦ Cisco Trust Anchor module: A tamper-resistant, strong cryptographic, single-chip solution provides
hardware authenticity assurance to uniquely identify the product so that its origin can be confirmed to
Cisco. This provides assurance that the product is genuine.
Resiliency and High Availability
●
StackWise-480: The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series supports the industry’s highest back-panel stacking
bandwidth solution (480 Gbps) with StackWise-480. Up to 8 Switches can be configured in a
Stackwise-480 with the special connector at the back of the switch using dedicated stack cables.
© 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information. Page 11 of 35
●
Cisco StackPower: Cisco StackPower is an innovative power interconnect system that allows the
power supplies in a stack to be shared as a common resource among all the switches. This allows you
to simply add one extra power supply in any switch of the stack and either provide power redundancy
for any of the stack members or simply add more power to the shared pool. Up to 4 switches can be
configured in a StackPower stack with the special connector at the back of the switch. However, with
the use of XPS-2200 appliance, up to 9 switches can be configured in the StackPower stack.
Figure 4.
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series StackPower
●
High availability: The Catalyst 9300 Series supports high-availability features, including the following:
◦ Cross-stack EtherChannel provides the ability to configure Cisco EtherChannel technology across
different members of the stack for high resiliency.
◦ IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) provides rapid spanning tree convergence
independent of spanning tree timers and also offers the benefit of Layer 2 load balancing and
distributed processing.
◦ Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVRST+) allows rapid spanning tree (IEEE 802.1w) reconvergence on a
per-VLAN spanning tree basis, providing simpler configuration than MSTP. In both MSTP and PVRST+
modes, stacked units behave as a single spanning tree node.
◦ Switch-port auto-recovery (“err-disable” recovery) automatically attempts to reactivate a link that is
disabled because of a network error.
◦ The Catalyst 9300 Series platform delivers the best NSF/SSO resiliency architecture in a stackable
solution with sub-50-ms failover.

that keep traffic flowing smoothly, even at 10 times the normal network speed. Industry-leading
mechanisms for cross-stack marking, classification, and scheduling deliver superior performance for
data, voice, and video traffic at wire speed. Superior QoS includes granular wireless bandwidth
management and fair sharing, 802.1p Class of Service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point
(DSCP) field classification, Shaped Round Robin (SRR) scheduling, Committed Information Rate (CIR),
and eight egress queues per port.
Service Discovery
●
Multicast DNS (mDNS) gateway: This service discovery gateway capability facilitates sharing of
services advertised using the Apple mDNS (Bonjour) protocol, such as printers, Apple TVs, and file
services across the network. Additionally, the administrator can create policies defining which services
can be seen and accessed by the users in the network. This capability facilitates a Bring-Your-OwnDevice (BYOD) rollout.
Smart Operation
●

standard. This standard provided the means for highly reliable delivery of low-latency, time-synchronized
audio and video streaming services through Layer 2 Ethernet networks. The standard also makes it easier to
integrate new services and for AV equipment from different vendors to interoperate.
Benefits
●
Improves quality of experience by lowering jitter and latency for time-synchronized delivery of highquality AV.
●
Provides scalability of applications across networked deployments, including expansive and complex
AV infrastructure.
●
Lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with reduced cabling (lowers CapEx) and no license fees
(lowers OpEx).
For more details about AVB and specific models supported, check https://www.cisco.com/go/avb.
Multigigabit Ethernet technology: Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology allows you to achieve bandwidth
speeds from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps over traditional Category 5e cabling or above. This technology addresses
the need for exponential increases in bandwidth with the enormous growth of 802.11ac and new wireless
applications without having to replace current cabling infrastructure.
Power Over Ethernet Leadership
Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE): PoE removes the need for wall sockets to power each
PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost of additional electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise
be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments. Cisco UPOE extends the IEEE PoE+ standard to double
the power per port to 60 watts. This facilitates delivery of network power to a broad range of devices
requiring higher power, including virtual desktop terminals, IP turrets, compact switches, building
management gateways, LED lights, wireless access points, and IP phones. The Catalyst 9300 Series supports
Cisco UPOE, PoE+ and PoE, thereby addressing the largest range of network power needs.
Tables 5 and 6 show the power supply combinations required for different PoE needs.

Fast PoE: When power is restored to a switch, PoE starts delivering power to endpoints without
waiting for the operating system to fully load, thereby speeding up the time for the endpoint to start
up.

Licensing
Packaging
The Cisco Catalyst 9000 family of switches introduces a new and simplified licensing package in the form of
base and add-on licenses.
●
The base licensing package includes the Network Essentials and Network Advantage licensing options
that are tied to the hardware. Between them, the base licensing packages cover switching

fundamentals, management automation, troubleshooting, and advanced switching features. These
base licenses are perpetual.
●
The add-on licensing package includes the Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco DNA Advantage options.
In addition to on-box capabilities, the features available with this package provide Cisco innovations
on the switch, as well as on Cisco DNA Center in the APIC-EM. The Cisco DNA add-on licenses are
available as a subscription.
License consumption is easily determined by the package itself. While base licenses are always permanent
and without an expiration date, add-on licenses have to be purchased for a 3-, 5-, or 7-year term (and
hence are also known as term-based licenses). Table 7 shows the combinations of base and add-on licenses
that must be purchased.
Table 7. Licensing combinations
*
At the time of Cisco DNA license renewal, the DNA Essentials license can be purchased to be used with
Network Advantage.
Managing licenses with Smart Accounts: Creating Smart Accounts by using the Cisco Smart Software
Manager (SSM) enables you to order devices and licensing packages and also manage your software
licenses from a centralized website. You can set up Cisco SSM to receive daily email alerts and to be notified
of expiring add-on licenses that you want to renew.
You must order an add-on license in order to purchase a switch. When the license term expires, you can
either renew the add-on license to continue using it or deactivate the add-on license and then reload the
switch to continue operating with the base license capabilities.
Both the base and add-on licenses are also available for a 90-day evaluation period. An evaluation license is
activated temporarily, without purchase. An expired evaluation license cannot be reactivated after reload.
Note: It is not required to deploy Cisco DNA Center just to use one of the above packages.
