Explore Cisco's Cloud Delivered Campus Fabric in this 30-minute conference presentation that demonstrates the future of cloud-managed network infrastructure. Learn how Cisco extends cloud management capabilities to Catalyst platforms through the 17.18 release, introducing support for Catalyst 9500 and the complete Catalyst 9200 portfolio to address traditional network challenges including management sprawl, troubleshooting difficulties, configuration inconsistencies, and security complexities. Discover how this unified, cloud-managed campus fabric enables larger environments with advanced features like VRF support, BGP, routed interfaces, and RPVST while simplifying integration of existing networks. Understand the seamless integration approach that allows gradual migration of network segments into the fabric, minimizing disruption and hardware overhaul requirements, with an underlay designed to accommodate existing subnets that can be moved into the fabric and selectively deployed across different leaves. Examine how this approach supports distributed wireless configurations and optimizes network topology by controlling broadcast traffic replication, with full integration of adaptive policy and access manager for granular endpoint control regardless of fabric topology. Follow the streamlined five-step setup process focusing on three critical elements: creating the fabric, assigning roles, and configuring border routing, including the staging function for configuration review and approval to enhance change control processes. See demonstrations of the user experience highlighting troubleshooting tools and fabric deployment verification methods for this cloud-orchestrated EVPN fabric designed to simplify network management, enhance security, and provide flexible campus network modernization without complete infrastructure replacement.
