Why each option
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 series switches are specifically designed to support Cisco SD-Access, offering high performance, security, and programmability required for modern enterprise networks. These switches serve as core and distribution layer devices within an SD-Access fabric.
CSRv (Cloud Services Router 1000V) is a virtual router primarily used for WAN and cloud connectivity, not as a core component of an SD-Access campus fabric.
ASR 1000-HX series routers are primarily designed for enterprise WAN aggregation and edge services, not as the primary switch platform for SD-Access campus fabric.
The Catalyst 6800 series are older generation modular switches, and while powerful, they are not specifically built for or optimized for SD-Access in the way the Catalyst 9000 series is.
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series Switches are purpose-built for enterprise core and aggregation layers, providing a high-performance, fixed-core switching platform optimized for SD-Access deployments. They offer advanced features like programmability, security, and scale essential for modern network architectures.
ISR 4221 series routers are entry-level integrated services routers used for branch offices, not for the core or distribution layers of an SD-Access campus network.
Nexus 7700 series switches are data center switches, optimized for data center fabrics, not for enterprise campus SD-Access deployments.
Concept tested: Cisco SD-Access compatible hardware (Catalyst 9000 series)
