Issue/Introduction

Can Unified Collection Framework (UCF) replace Virtual Network Assurance (VNA) completely?

Resolution

With the current release of UCF (25.4.4) VNA could be replaced with certain plugins.

UCF currently supports the following plugins:

• Cisco Meraki
• Cisco Catalyst Center
• Fortinet
• Juniper Mist
• Viptela
• Aruba EdgeConnect
• Cisco ACI

If a plugin that is not currently available, VNA must still be in place and used.
