Overall platform benefits

Dynamic core allocation

Dynamic core allocation architecture will allow you to tailor the Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge platforms’s multicore resources to fit your business needs. You can choose between two core allocations

      Service plane heavy mode is a service-oriented core allocation which has the platform’s Multicore resources set to balance throughput with providing adequate resources for containerized services. Choose Service plane heavy mode if integrated, container based, services are required. C8200-1N-4T with its 8-core SoC architecture will allow for KVM and/or Docker container-based applications on up to 3 cores. C8200L-1N-4T with a 4-core SoC architecture has a single core earmarked for Thousand Eyes agent in Service plane heavy mode. This platform doesn’t allow for KVM and/or Docker container-based applications. Service plane heavy mode is the factory default core allocation with which all C8200 platforms are shipped.

      Data plane heavy core allocation has the platform’s Multicore resources repurposed and optimized for high traffic throughput. Choose this architecture when throughput is of higher priority, A Data plane heavy architecture will on 8-core platforms completely remove resources for containerized services.

In order to maximize the platforms performance and your investment, it’s recommended to change into a Data plane heavy core allocation when container-based services are not being required.

Accelerated services with Cisco Software-Defined WAN

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN is a set of intelligent software services that allow you to connect users, devices, and branch office locations reliably and securely across a diverse set of WAN transport links. The Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms Family can dynamically route traffic across the “best” link based on up-to-the-minute application and network conditions for great application experiences. With Catalyst SD-WAN you get tight control over application performance, bandwidth usage, data privacy, and availability of your WAN links. This control is critical as branches conduct greater volumes of mission-critical business using both on-premises and cloud controllers.

SD-Routing

Simplifying traditional routing deployment and workflows with Cisco Software-Defined Routing

Cisco SD-Routing enables Cisco routing devices to be managed through Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, bringing operational simplicity and agility to traditional routing deployments by avoiding truck rolls for routine operational tasks. It also reduces OpEx by leveraging Catalyst SD-WAN Manager as the unified management platform for Catalyst SD-WAN as well as routing deployments.

SD-Routing enables customers to manage their routing devices in a flexible manner through on-premises controllers and will also be offered through cloud-delivered controllers in the near future.

Operationally, Cisco SD-Routing provides intuitive device lifecycle orchestration workflows for secure device onboarding as well as secure device software upgrades. By leveraging the rich monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities of Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, administrators can quickly isolate and resolve network problems.

Application performance optimization

Ensure that SD-WAN networks meet Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) and maintain strong performance, even if network problems occur. With branch multicloud access, you can accelerate your Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications with a simple template push from the SD-WAN controller. Features such as TCP optimization, Forward Error Correction (FEC), and packet duplication enhance application performance for a better user experience.

Multilayer security

You can now move your traditional and complex WAN networks into an agile, software-defined WAN with integrated security. The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms connect branch offices to the internet and cloud with industry-leading protection against major web attacks. Secure Direct Internet Access (DIA) from the branches helps optimize branch workloads for improved performance, specifically for cloud-hosted applications. At the same time, secure DIA helps ensure that your branch is protected from external threats.

Application visibility

Applications and users are more distributed than ever, and the internet has effectively become the new enterprise WAN. As organizations continue to embrace internet, cloud, and SaaS, network and IT teams are challenged to deliver consistent and reliable connectivity and application performance over networks and services they don’t own or directly control.

The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are integrated with Cisco ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence. IT managers now have expanded visibility, including hop-by-hop analytics, into network underlay, proactive monitoring of SD-WAN overlay, and performance measurement of SaaS applications. This granular visibility ultimately lowers the Mean Time to Identification of Issues (MTTI) and accelerates resolution time.

Unified communications

The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms offer rich voice services in both SD-WAN and traditional Cisco IOS XE software feature stacks. Cisco is the only SD-WAN vendor to natively integrate analog and digital IP directly into single Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), reducing CapEx and OpEx. In SD-WAN mode, the Catalyst 8200 Series also helps prevent internal and external outages with Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), enabling branch routers to assume the role of call control PBX for telephony survivability. They also continue to support a long list of traditional Cisco IOS XE voice use cases such as Cisco Unified Boarder Element (CUBE) Session Border Controller (SBC), Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME), Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), ISDN, and voice over IP.

Cloud-native agility with a programmable software architecture

Cisco continues to offer a feature-rich traditional Cisco IOS XE routing stack on the Catalyst 8200 Series. IP routing, IPsec, QoS, firewall, NAT, Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR), Flexible NetFlow (FNF), and many other features are part of Cisco IOS XE, a fully programmable software architecture with API support and a wide variety of protocols and configurations. With an integrated software image and a single binary file, you can now choose between Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN and Cisco IOS XE. And you can easily move from one to the other when you choose to do so.

Mobility

The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are built for high-speed Cat18 LTE and 5G networks. With the higher throughputs from Cat18 LTE and 5G, wireless WAN solutions are becoming feasible options for primary transport use cases. These platforms supports both integrated pluggable modules as well as external Cellular Gateways with Cat18 LTE and 5G capability for improved throughput that addresses those use cases. An integrated PIM module or external Cellular Gateway can be chosen based on a specific branch’s cellular coverage, or work in tandem forming a high-availability Active-Active cellular WAN solution

Interface flexibility

Layer 2 LAN (Switched) and Layer 3 WAN (Routed) ports

The Catalyst 8200 Series continues Cisco’s support for a flexible single-box solution with both switching and routing. The NIM based Layer 2 LAN modules provide 4- and 8-port switching with optional PoE capability for up to 1Gbps. The NIM based Layer 3 WAN modules provides extended Layer 3 port density for up to 2.5Gbps mGig with full Layer 3 feature parity to the Catalyst 8200 Series four embedded Layer 3 ports.

LANWAN – Flexible Layer 2 Switching and Layer 3 Routing

In addition to a wide range of NIM based Ethernet modules for a flexible and scalable combination of switched L2 ports and routed L3 ports, the Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms also offer a new LANWAN module series which combines both capabilities. These new NIM based modules offer combined Layer 2 & Layer 3 connectivity with full Layer 3 feature parity to the embedded Layer 3 ports. LANWAN modules are offered as 8-port RJ45 modules ranging from 100Mbps up to 2.5Gbps mGig with 90 PoE capacity. In addition, LANWAN modules also support LAN MACsec for all ports operating in Layer 2 mode and WAN MACsec for all ports operating in Layer 3 mode. The introduction of LANWAN series modules offer unprecedented flexibility for the branch through higher density of Layer 3 ports, with options for higher PoE capacity and with HW-based MACsec for secure connections.

Voice modules

The Catalyst 8200 Series continues Cisco’s support for a variety of voice modules for the different voice needs at the branch. Voice module examples include Foreign Exchange Station (FXS), Foreign Exchange Office (FXO), Digital Signal Processor (DSP), etc.

Sustainability

The Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are designed ground-up with sustainability in mind. These platforms are standardized on highly efficient power supplies and common form factors for sharing tooling and accessories. We have eliminated the use of plastic bezels as well as the need for wet paint, thereby reducing hazardous chemicals, and facilitating recyclability.

All platforms are designed for maximizing efficient use of PCBs and material in motherboard designs and for employing common modules across platforms. Over 70% of the ISR4000 platform family’s modules are being reused by the Cisco Catalyst 8200 and 8300 Series Edge Platforms.

We standardize on integration of features to a single, very power effective, System on a Chip (SoC) architecture across the platform portfolio. It offers dynamic power management plus added power and thermal management capabilities on modules. All platforms furthermore include a barometer to sense atmospheric pressure and estimate installation altitude. Fan speeds can thereby be reduced in installations at lower altitudes, yielding significant energy savings.

Throughput Efficiency (Gbps per Watt)

By using a single, effective, SoC architecture, the Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge family provides significantly higher performance per consumed wattage than its predecessors.

Services

Cisco Customer Experience support services for Catalyst 8000 platforms and Cisco DNA Software for SD-WAN and Routing

This section discusses the Cisco support services available for the Catalyst 8000 platforms and associated Cisco DNA Software for SD-WAN and Routing, as well as optional support service offers.

      Catalyst 8000 platforms: Cisco Solution Support is the default and recommended Cisco support service. However, Cisco Solution Support is not mandatory; it can be removed or replaced with another Cisco support service or partner service per the customer’s preference.

      Cisco DNA Software for SD-WAN and Routing: Cisco Solution Support is the default Cisco support service. However, Cisco Solution Support is not mandatory; the customer may choose to use the Cisco Subscription Embedded Software Support included with the purchase of this software.

Note:   

      When Solution Support is selected, it must be ordered on both the Catalyst 8000 platform and Cisco DNA Software for SD-WAN and Routing for complete customer entitlement to this premium support service.

      SD-WAN and Routing customers with Solution Support or Cisco Subscription Embedded Software Support are entitled to maintenance releases and software updates for Cisco DNA SD-WAN and Routing software only. Support for the Catalyst 8000 platform’s OS and network stack, along with OS updates, is covered by the support contract on the Catalyst 8000 platform.

      For ThousandEyes support, C8200L-1N-4T must be upgraded to a minimum of 8GB DRAM

Cisco Solution Support is a premium support purpose-built for today’s multiproduct, multivendor network environments and provides:

      A primary point of contact, centralizing support across a solution deployment

      Solution, product, and interoperability expertise

      No requirement for customers to isolate their issue to a product to open a case

      30-minute service response objective for Severity 1 and 2 cases

      Prioritized case handling over product support cases

      Product support team coordination (Cisco and Solution Support Alliance Partners)

      Accountability for multiproduct, multivendor issue management from first call to resolution, no matter where the issue resides

Learn more about Cisco Solution Support at: www.cisco.com/go/solutionsupport.

Cisco Subscription Embedded Software Support includes:

      Access to support and troubleshooting via online tools and web case submission. Case severity or escalation guidelines are not applicable.

      Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) access 24 hours per day, 7 days per week to assist by telephone, or web case submission and online tools with application software use and troubleshooting issues.

      Access to www.cisco.com, providing helpful technical and general information on Cisco products, as well as access to Cisco’s online Software Center library.

Note:      No additional products or fees are required to receive embedded support for Cisco DNA Software for SD-WAN and Routing. However, if using embedded support for this software, hardware support for the Catalyst 8000 platforms must be purchased separately, as Cisco Subscription Embedded Software Support does not cover hardware. In this case, Cisco Smart Net Total Care® Service is recommended for the Catalyst 8000 platforms.
