Small Steps, Giant Leaps for IT and OT with the New Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Configuration Catalog
SD-WAN has emerged as an important tool for managing both enterprise and industrial networks. However, some complexity may be acceptable, especially when managing networks that span geographically dispersed regions. We solve these challenges by introducing the industry’s first customer-centric configuration group-based approach that templates enterprise and industrial SD-WAN deployments.
Proven and tested: A pre-configured catalog of best practices to help you get the most out of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager
that Configuration catalog With new features built into SD-WAN Manager, Predefined optimal configurations designed to simplify network deployment. Rather than manually creating each configuration, a tedious and error-prone task, customers can utilize these best practice configurations to more efficiently assemble their network settings. Studies have shown that misconfigurations are a major cause of network downtime and increased security risks, which can have a serious impact on business operations. Configuration catalogs help users maximize the functionality of their SD-WAN solutions by reducing the risk of human error and gaining confidence that they contain the elements they need for their desired use cases. These proven blueprints, combined with the monitoring and orchestration capabilities of Catalyst SD-WAN, enable IT and OT users to confidently deploy industrial IoT routers at scale while significantly reducing network operation time and costs.
Setup in minutes, set up in just a few days
teaNot only do catalogs save time, they also help ensure that all configurations are properly aligned with best practices developed and tested by Cisco’s solutions engineering team. As a result, the likelihood of troubleshooting due to configuration issues is reduced.
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Configuration Catalog for Industrial IoT (IIoT)
SD-WAN configurationigurations designed for industrial use IoT utilization The examples make it easier to manage integrated deployments between IT and OT.
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN offers significant benefits for industrial IoT (IIoT) use cases. Organizations in sectors such as utilities, roads and intersections, rail, and oil and gas can easily deploy industrial/OT WANs, securely connect remote assets, minimize errors, and save time. This is critical in industries where network stability is essential, where even minor outages can have a significant impact on operations.
The configuration catalog contains specific use cases designed for IIoT environments. Cisco Verified Profile (CVP)). Developed with customer feedback and extensively tested by Cisco’s solutions engineering team, these CVPs provide default settings specifically optimized for cellular WANs, including reduced 5G/LTE data usage. neckEwhy Catalyst IR1101 Cover and CAtalist IR1800 strict Series RoutS both routed and NAT mode. These two modes make up most deployment scenarios used by customers. These CVPs also incorporate best practices from Cisco Validated Designs for a variety of industries, giving customers the best of both worlds: a referenceable network design and configuration catalog for deploying IT technologies at scale in OT. It’s easier to make it a reality, allowing you to take full advantage of modern industrial automation.
More catalog entries are expected in Q4CY24 for both IR1101 and IR1800, especially for connected roads and intersections. The configuration catalog continues to receive subsequent updates, adding new items for critical IT and OT use cases.
