Secure Campus Networking, Built for Scale

Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) is Cisco's intent-based campus architecture. It simplifies operations while delivering strong security, segmentation and visibility at scale.

As campus networks grow, they often become overloaded with VLANs and ACLs, risky to change and hard to secure. SD-Access replaces site-by-site configuration with policy you define once and enforce everywhere.

Key Capabilities

How SD-Access Works

Separation of Concerns

Who or what is connected, what access they're allowed and how traffic flows are managed separately.

Macro and Micro Segmentation

Virtual networks for macro-segmentation and Scalable Group Tags for micro-segmentation.

Modern Overlay

LISP and VXLAN overlays on Catalyst switching and wireless, with Catalyst Center as the control and assurance platform.

Changes in Hours, Not Weeks

Template-based onboarding, automated provisioning and central policy reduce configuration drift.

Zero Trust by Design

Least-privilege access by default, end-to-end segmentation and identity integration.

Continuous Validation

Assurance and telemetry continuously confirm the fabric is working as intended.
