About Cisco Catalyst Center

Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly known as Cisco DNA Center) is a robust network management and automation solution designed to simplify operations, boost security, and optimize network performance across Cisco-based infrastructures. Its widespread use in enterprise environments highlights the need for a tight integration with NetBox.

Synchronizing Network Data for Enhanced Efficiency

Typically, many organizations rely on NetBox to maintain a comprehensive record of network inventory and topology, while Cisco Catalyst Center manages real-time automation, policy enforcement, and monitoring. In the absence of an automated connection between these platforms, teams often resort to manual data entry—resulting in inconsistencies, errors, and slower network operations. This new integration bridges that gap by seamlessly synchronizing network devices, configurations, and policies, ensuring your records remain accurate and up-to-date.

A Collaborative Approach to Network Management

In line with our integrations with platforms such as Juniper Mist and VMware vCenter, the Catalyst Center integration is built around a shared authority model. In today’s complex IT landscapes, no single tool should bear the entire burden of network management. Instead, each system excels in its domain—NetBox continues to serve as the central source of truth for your infrastructure, while Cisco Catalyst Center efficiently manages dynamic tasks. This harmonious approach minimizes configuration drift, enhances visibility, and streamlines collaboration across your network teams.
