3 Advanced Enterprise Campus Design Instant Access Abstract Advanced Enterprise Campus Design session is focused on Catalyst Instant Access (IA) technology. The session provides in-depth understanding of 1. The solution overview of how it simplifies the design and deployment of a 3 tier enterprise network architecture and achieving simplified operations, Catalyst 6500 / 6800 features at the access layer and consistent CLI, which in turn drive down total cost of ownership (TCO). 2. Deep dive into rich Enterprise Network use cases such as TrustSec x, Security Group Tagging (SGT), SGACL, Flexible NetFlow (FnF), Network Resiliency/High Availability, Network Virtualization- Easy Virtual Network (EVN), MPLS 3. Design and deployment best practices for Instant Access solution Attendees can expect to learn about the specific requirements for deploying an Instant Access topology as well as the expected behaviors related convergence and scalability.
