Catalyst Instant Access Abstract Abstract
Cisco Catalyst Instant Access brings fabric extension technology (similar to Data
Center FEX) with operational simplicity to the Campus Catalyst Ethernet
switching line tailor made to needs of campus/enterprise network deployments. It
creates a single network touch point and single configuration across distribution
and access layer switches, ultimately driving simplified operations, distribution
layer (Catalyst 6500/6800) features at access layer, consistent CLI and lower
total cost of ownership (TCO). This session will focus on Instant Access (IA)
overview and value proposition, components, features, scale, packet walks,
configuration and CLI look and feel, and Instant Access provisioning details.
