Catalyst Instant Access Abstract
Abstract
Cisco Catalyst Instant Access brings fabric extension technology (similar to Data
Center FEX) with operational simplicity to the Campus Catalyst Ethernet
switching line tailor made to needs of campus/enterprise network deployments. It
creates a single network touch point and single configuration across distribution
and access layer switches, ultimately driving simplified operations, distribution
layer (Catalyst 6500/6800) features at access layer, consistent CLI and lower
total cost of ownership (TCO). This session will focus on Instant Access (IA)
overview and value proposition, components, features, scale, packet walks,
configuration and CLI look and feel, and Instant Access provisioning details.

 Simplicity of Provisioning & Image Management
 Simplification of Configuration
 QoS Capabilities
 High Availability
Key Takeaways
Simplicity of Provisioning
Automatic-Provisioning on Connection
• A Client gets automatically discovered and provisioned using IA Control
Protocol when connected.
• Automatic Discovery and Stack Member by Parent via Stack Master
Pre-Provisioning
Provision IA Client and interface Configurations before even physically
connecting the IA Client

New Deployment of Instant Access
Simplicity of Image Management Across Distribution Block
 One IOS Image across Distribution / Access Block

 Cat6500 Image and Cat6800ia Image Bundled together as
one Image.
 IA Client image is like a Line card image on Cat6k.
 Automatic Image Management at Access.
 Enhanced Fast Software Upgrade(eFSU) supported for
Instant Access
 Rolling Upgrade for each FEX-ID
Just Like a Line Card,
