Cisco Secure Access Help Manage Network Devices

Last updated: Aug 07, 2025

Manage Network Devices

In Cisco Secure Access, you can add a hardware or virtual network device—for example, a router, switch, access point, or firewall—that routes DNS traffic to Secure Access's recursive DNS servers. Some network devices may also:

  • Encrypt DNS traffic.
  • Add internal IP addresses to DNS requests.
  • Enable a policy for traffic by network segment or service set identifier (SSID).

After you add the network device in Secure Access, you can select the network device as a source component on the internet access rules in the Access policy. For more information, see Add an Internet Access Rule. You can also view the properties of a network device, and edit or remove the device in Secure Access.

Note: You can only deploy a network device when the device is on-network. You may deploy a network device as an alternative to a Secure Access Virtual Appliance (VA).
