A DNA Center controller is a controller for SDA networks (software defined access). It uses a software defined networking approach for building a converged wired and wireless campus LAN.
Cisco DNA has the following benefits:
Centralized management for design, provision, and defining policies.
The whole network infrastructure is automated through one policy across the entire access network, which simplifies day-to-day configuration, provisioning, and troubleshooting.
Today there are more users, traffic, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices connected to the network. Cisco wireless solutions provide a scalable wireless architecture that is easier to deploy and manage.
The Cisco WLCs are compatible with today’s Wi-Fi standards and are ready for tomorrow’s challenges. They provide the following functions:
Centralize the configuration and management of our access points
Improves network performance with automated failover and mitigation of radio interference
Allow us to choose between appliance-based on-premises solutions, private cloud or public cloud solutions
Cisco wireless controller can be used for small, medium, and large networks.
Cisco Mobility Express is a virtual controller embedded in Aironet access points. It is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses.

Exercise 7 - Endpoints and Servers
In previous exercises, you learned about different network components used for data transfer between endpoints.
Endpoints are computer devices that are used to connect and communicate with a network. The devices can be located outside the data center, like the router, but most of the endpoints will be either physical servers running a native OS or virtual servers.
In this exercise, you will learn about different endpoints and servers in our network.
