Cisco DNA (Digital Network Architecture) is a software solution that delivers automation, security, predictive monitoring, and a policy-driven approach to network management. It simplifies the management of Cisco Catalyst network infrastructure and ensures a consistent user experience across wired and wireless networks. Some key features of Cisco DNA include:

• Policy-based automation: Cisco DNA allows for identity-based policy management and network segmentation, which can accelerate automation.
• Analytics and assurance: Cisco DNA provides deep analytics and applied intelligence for troubleshooting, remediation, and assurance.
• Security: Cisco DNA offers embedded network-level security from the latest sensors and enforcers with security innovations.
• Single console management: Cisco DNA Center software runs on a dedicated physical appliance and in AWS to provide operational flexibility. It enables management of the entire campus network – headquarters and branch, wired and wireless, IT and OT – all from a single console.

Cisco DNA subscriptions can be purchased through a Cisco Enterprise Agreement or individually, and can be managed with a Cisco Smart Account. Cisco DNA Center uses AI to fine-tune Wi-Fi performance and coverage based on actual usage, and provides deeper insights into user experiences. It also helps eliminate security vulnerabilities and ensure compliance by automating software, configuration, and policy-compliance.
