SD-Access: Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches form the foundational building block for SD-Access, Cisco's lead enterprise architecture:
Policy-based automation from edge to cloud
Simplified segmentation and micro-segmentation, with predictable performance and scalability
Automation through Cisco DNA Center
Policy handled through the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)
Network assurance provided through the Cisco DNA Cent Faster launch of new business services and significantly improved issue resolution time
SD-Access Embedded Wireless: The Cisco Catalyst 9800 embedded Wireless Controller Software package can be installed on Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches to enable wireless controller functionality for distributed branches and small campuses. Once installed, the Catalyst 9800 embedded Wireless Controller running on a Catalyst 9300 Series switch can support up to 200 APs and 4000 Clients (C9300L supports 50 APs / 4000 Clients). A maximum two wireless controllers can be enabled per site on two different Catalyst 9300 Series switches which will increase to scale up to 400 APs and 8000 Wireless Clients (C9300L: 100 APs / 8000 Clients). The Catalyst 9800 embedded Wireless Controller Software package will enable wireless functionality only for SD-Access deployments with two supported topologies:
The Catalyst 9800 embedded Wireless Controller Software package can be enabled on Catalyst 9300 Series switches functioning as Co-Located Border and Control Plan
C9800 Wireless Software Package can be enabled on Catalyst 9300 Series switches functioning as Fabric in a Bo
Plug and Play (PnP) enabled: A simple, secure, unified, and integrated offering to ease new branch or campus device rollouts or updates to an existing network
Advanced security
Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA): You benefit from the power of machine learning to identify and take actions toward threats or anomalies in your network, including malware detection in encrypted traffic (without decryption) and distributed anomaly detection
Support for AES-256 with the powerful MACsec 256-bit encryption algorithm available on all models
Trustworthy solutions: Hardware anchored Secure Boot and Secure Unique Device Identification (SUDI) support for Plug and Play, to verify the identity of the hardware and software
