Cisco Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Installationsanleitung

The Plug and Play Gateway has limits on the maximum number of device connections to the event ports (11011-110XX) that 
it can manage on the integrated and standalone server setups. 

 gives the maximum number of devices connections and 

the number of port information for Plug and Play Gateway solution. Each event port opened can support up to a maximum of 
1000 device connection. The Prime infrastructure can support Plug and Play activation between 100 to 200 devices at the same 
time with the following.

Before installing, you must enable devices to provide Prime Infrastructure with the data it requires, such as SNMP. When you 
configure your devices for SNMP and NTP, Prime Infrastructure can provide fault, application, and performance data.

To work with Prime Infrastructure, your devices must run at least the minimum required software versions shown in the list of 
supported devices you can access from the Prime Infrastructure user interface by clicking Help, then selecting Supported Devices 
List.

You must also configure your devices to support SNMP traps and syslogs, and the Network Time Protocol (NTP), as explained 
in the following sections.

To ensure that Prime Infrastructure can query SNMP devices and receive traps and notifications from them, you must:

Set SNMP credentials (community strings) on each device you want to manage using Prime Infrastructure.

Configure these same devices to send SNMP notifications to the Prime Infrastructure server.

Use the following IOS configuration commands to set read/write and read-only community strings on an SNMP device:

snmp-server community private RW

snmp-server community public RO

where 

and

 are the community strings you want to set. 

After you set the community strings, you can specify that device notifications be sent as traps to the Prime Infrastructure server 
using the following IOS global configuration command on each SNMP device:

snmp-server host PIHost traps version community notification-type

where:

s the IP address of the Prime Infrastructure server.

is the version of SNMP that is used to send the traps. 

is the community string sent to the server with the notification operation.

 is the type of trap to send. You may need to control bandwidth usage and the amount of trap 

information being sent to Prime Infrastructure server using this parameter. For more information,

The number of ports in SSL and plain text can 
be configured during the setup. However, the 
total number of ports configured should not 
exceed 10.
