Overview
This section provides a high-level overview of the LAN automation workflow and its key benefits in streamlining network provisioning and reducing manual configuration tasks.
LAN automation is a network management process that
-
simplifies network operations,
-
eliminates manual, repetitive network configuration tasks, and
-
establishes a standard, error-free underlay network.
LAN automation accelerates the creation of the underlay network without the traditional network planning and implementation process.
This guide is based on Catalyst Center Release 2.3.3; however, an additional topic in the guide provides some information on the LAN automation process based on Catalyst Center Release 2.3.5 and later.
Cisco DNA Center has been rebranded as Catalyst Center. During the rebranding process, you will see both names used in different collaterals, but both names refer to the same product.
The steps and examples may vary based on your Catalyst Center version. For more information on configuring LAN automation and related features, see Cisco Catalyst Center User Guide.
