Application Setup 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure introduced a new lifecycle approach to managing your wired and wireless infrastructure. 

There are five phases in this lifecycle: design, deploy, operate, report, and administer. The details for each of these 

phases are briefly described in the following section. 

 

In this phase, you can assess, plan, and create configurations required to roll out new network services and 

technologies. You can create templates used for monitoring key network resources, devices, and attributes. Default 

templates and best practice designs are provided for quick out-of-the-box implementation, automating the work 

required to use Cisco validated designs and best practices. 

In this phase, you can schedule the rollout and implementation of network changes. Changes may include 

publis0068ed templates created in the design phase, software image updates, and support for user-initiated ad hoc 

changes and compliance updates. This accelerates service rollout, minimizes chances for errors, and is highly 

scalable. 

In this phase, you can utilize preconfigured dashboards to provide up-to-date status monitoring on the overall 

health of the network. Simple one-click workflows and 360-degree views enhance troubleshooting and reduce the 

time to resolve network issues. Unified alarm displays with detailed forensics provide actionable information and 

the ability to automatically open service requests with the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). 

In this phase, you can provide a wide variety of preconfigured reports for up-to-date information on the network, 

including detailed inventory, configuration, compliance, audit, capacity, end of sale, security vulnerabilities, and 

many more. Reports can be scheduled or run immediately, emailed, or saved as PDFs for future viewing purposes. 

In this phase, you can provide an easy-to-use set of workflows that help to maintain the health of the application 

and keep devices, users, and the software up to date, allowing the IT staff to focus on other important activities.
