Cisco Catalyst and Meraki SD-WAN interconnectivity

Choose a mix-and-match, best-fit choice of Meraki and Catalyst SD-WAN across all your disparate location types and streamline management from a single dashboard. Sites with similar attributes can run the most operationally efficient SD-Branch solution with Meraki and locations that demand precise WAN configurations can run the most customizable SD-WAN with Catalyst. Using only the Meraki dashboard, a native and resilient link is easily established between the fabrics to allow the flow of desired traffic.

Multi-Region Fabric to scale with ease

Catalyst SD-WAN provides a range of capabilities for scaling your deployments. Multi-Region Fabric (MRF) offers scalability by organizing the network into logical groups via Network Hierarchy (e.g., based on geography, function, department, etc.) and defining resource pools for efficient IP Address Management (IPAM) and group-level controls.

Multi-Region Fabric eliminates the need for complex or lengthy routing or topology policies to operationalize common use-cases with intuitive, intent-driven controls. For instance, simplified hub-spoke topology setup, interconnecting sites with different WAN transports with one-click via Transport Gateway Router, operationalizing horizontal scaling, hub/DC affinity, and similar load-sharing and redundancy use-cases via device affinity groups, and achieving simplified end-to-end flow symmetry across the WAN, among others.

Simplified management and operations of the entire fabric with MRF include:

     Segmenting the fabric into smaller mini logical networks such as regions/sub-regions, with independent WAN transports and topologies per network.

     Expanding the SD-WAN fabric to support hierarchical network designs with ease to incorporate today’s multicloud, SaaS and middle-mile oriented WANs.

     Using regions and sub-regions to easily manage SD-WAN tunnels scale across devices within the fabric

     Route aggregation and advanced filtering capabilities across regions

     Enhanced control plane scalability via Distributed Controllers

     Users can share controllers across all their sites or choose to dedicate sets of controllers to serve one or more group of sites (per-region or group of regions),tremendously increasing the scalability of SD-WAN control plane and offering resiliency, redundancy, and enhanced fault tolerance.

     Intelligent route/path filtering:

     Using device affinity-groups, users can configure branches and hubs with affinity-groups and the controllers can intelligently restrict route/path advertisement within the fabric; without needing additional routing/policies. Using ‘color’ or WAN circuit based filtering to ensure that devices only learn routes/paths that they can reach/resolve via their respective WAN circuits or colors.

     Controller peer scale and routing information base (RIB) scale enhancements

The Enhanced Multi-Region Fabric User Experience (UX) seamlessly integrates Multi-Region Fabric capabilities into the Catalyst SD-WAN Manager's UX2.0 interface, providing a familiar and intuitive platform for efficiently managing all aspects of a multi-region network. This integration empowers customers to leverage the benefits of UX2.0 through features like configuration groups, profiles, policy groups, and improved monitoring screens. This allows them to manage all aspects of their multi-region network consistently and efficiently.

It allows for viewing network hierarchy and drilling down into individual site topology, providing granular insights and enabling context-relevant troubleshooting tasks without accessing the device command line.

     Customizable Insightful Dashboards: IT teams can create customizable dashboards providing rich insights into network, security, and application health, with intuitive heat maps displaying trending data.

     Enhanced Security: Granular role-based access control (RBAC) and co-management capabilities enhance security by restricting network access (limiting read and/or write privileges) based on user roles (within the enterprise or MSP organization), and device locations/grouping of Edge devices, ensuring compliance and mitigating risks.

     Unified Assurance and Management: A unified interface that combines assurance and management capabilities, providing customers with a comprehensive and near real-time view of network and application health, configurations, and security status.. This single interface simplifies management, reduces operational complexity, and enhances network visibility and control for customers.

     Open Programmability: Developers can leverage a comprehensive workflow-based Software-Development Kit (SDK) to automate the provisioning, configuration, and monitoring of on-premises or cloud network deployments via SD-WAN Manager Application Programming Interfaces (API’s). This open source package can dramatically reduce the time performing routine administrative tasks while providing a programmatic option of managing the network fabric.
