• Cisco Plug and Play Gateway is part of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure offering. It can function in
the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), hosts the Plug and Play deployment jobs from Cisco Prime
Infrastructure, and accepts connections from new devices (e.g. ISR) coming on the network

• Plug and Play Applications are standalone applications (IPhone/IPad and PC) that help in
deploying ISRs with bootstrap configurations and to trigger Plug and Play deployments. These
applications work with Cisco Prime Infrastructure version 1.3 and higher.

Cisco Plug and Play Deployment Overview
In order to deploy an ISR branch WAN router using Cisco Plug and Play, execute the following steps:
1. Install and set up the Cisco Plug and Play Server components.
2. Based on the version of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure and the deployment requirement, you

3. Design a Plug and Play Profile on Cisco Prime Infrastructure
4. Add and pre-provision the ISR in Cisco Prime Infrastructure
5. Bootstrap and register the ISR with the Cisco Prime Infrastructure
6. Optionally, manage this device via Cisco Prime Infrastructure for Day2 onwards management.

After the ISR router is bootstrapped, the installer connects the router cables and power up and delivers
bootstrap configuration at the remote site. The router, then connects to the Cisco Plug and Play
Gateway, identifies itself (e.g. using its Serial Number), and downloads the full configuration and,
optionally IOS image. The figure below describes the Plug and Play deployment at a branch site.
