Catalyst SD-Routing Overview

Cisco SD-Routing enables Cisco routing devices to be managed through Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager.

SD-Routing brings 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.
