Why each option
Cisco DNA Center is the central management platform for Cisco SD-Access, providing comprehensive capabilities for network design, deployment, policy management, and operational assurance of the fabric.
Cisco DNA Center serves as the single point of management and orchestration for the entire SD-Access solution, enabling network administrators to design, provision, apply policies, and monitor the network fabric from a centralized interface. It automates device onboarding, fabric creation, and policy application, streamlining the deployment and operation of SD-Access.
Routing decisions inside the SD-Access fabric are handled by the underlying network infrastructure (underlay) and the LISP-based control plane, not directly by Cisco DNA Center itself.
While Cisco DNA Center does facilitate integration with non-fabric nodes, its core function extends beyond mere integration to encompass the complete lifecycle management of the SD-Access fabric.
The LISP Map-Server/Map-Resolver, part of the SD-Access control plane, maintains endpoint-to-location mappings, not Cisco DNA Center directly for all endpoints and external networks.
