I've got this! The two products supported as "Extended" in DNA-C 1.1 are the Catalyst 6807 and the Catalyst 3560-CX. I'm sure about that, so I'll go ahead and select those options.

Ah, the cloud models - always a tricky topic. Let me think this through step-by-step. Private, hybrid, community, public... I think community is the one that matches the description here. I'll go with that.
