Introduces Cisco SD-WAN Remote Access functionality, covering supported devices, prerequisites, restrictions, and common use cases for remote connectivity solutions.
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Remote Access (SD-WAN RA) is a remote access solution that
-
fully integrates remote access functionality into the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN fabric
-
extends the benefits of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN to remote access users, and
-
enables Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices to provide remote access headend functionality, managed through Cisco SD-WAN Manager.
Deployment
An SD-WAN RA headend device may be deployed in these locations:
-
On-premises (in a hub or data center)
-
Hosted in a public cloud (for a software device)
-
In a colocation facility
SD-WAN RA enables remote access users to access applications hosted on-premises, applications hosted in IaaS, SaaS applications, or the internet. The connectivity between remote access clients and the SD-WAN RA headend is commonly through the internet. For small office hardware remote access clients, the connectivity may be through a private WAN.
