We used to have Netgear switches. Netgear switches do not allow for automation. They do not have Command Line Interface capabilities. Using Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches we are able to access them using Secure Shell protocol to access the CLI and automate configuration backups and configuration changes. We are able to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux's Ansible solution to perform these functions with ease.

Yes, these Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches can be managed by Catalyst Center, and that eased a lot of our manual efforts since all the tasks can be done via Catalyst Center. We can get telemetry data from Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches.

Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches Provide Robust Data Closet Solutions.

We are really just beginning to explore all the benefits of automation and widely deployed analytics. Cisco Catalyst Center has allowed us to streamline code upgrades and has provided valuable data on our network with streaming telemetry that is enhanced with the AI/ML engines that are accessed through Cisco Catalyst Center. We continue to expand on these developments and are also working towards SD Access deployments. The automation and security controls in the SD Access platform will allow us to continue to transition the network to continually adapt to the business needs.
