Appendix 

The routers/switches should have Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Telnet/SSH enabled for 

them to be successfully managed. And the wireless controllers and the access points should have SNMP, 

Telnet/SSH, and HTTP access. 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports all versions of SNMP: v1, v2c, and v3 (noAuthNoPriv, authNoPriv, authPriv). 

a.  Enabling SNMP on Routers/Switches 

For most devices, the following syntax should work for SNMP v1/v2c: 

#snmp-server community pu61c RO (using "public" is not recommended) 

#snmp-server community pr1vat3 RW (using "private" is not recommended) 

b.  Enabling SNMP on Wireless Controllers 

From the WLC web GUI, navigate to Management > Communities (under SNMP). Click New to create a new 

SNMP v1/v2c community. An SNMP v3 community can be configured by going to the SNMP v3 user from the left 

panel menu. 

a.  Enabling Telnet/SSH on Routers/Switches 

Below is the configuration that should work on most of the routers/switches: 

line vty 0 4 

 access-class vty_access in 

 privilege level 15 

 login local 

 transport input telnet ssh 

b.  Enabling Telnet/SSH on Wireless Controllers 

From the WLC web GUI, navigate to Management > Telnet-SSH to open the Telnet-SSH Configuration page. 

Allow either the Telnet or SSH sessions. 

Before you use Cisco Prime Infrastructure to configure AVC functionality, you will need to discover/add the devices 

in Cisco Prime Infrastructure. You will also need to create sites and associate the devices to the respective sites in 

order to get detailed information about application visibility from a site, device perspective. You will also need to 

configure Interface roles to apply the AVC configuration on. And finally you need to identify the WAN interfaces in 

order to collect/monitor the application traffic over the WAN. 

The sections below briefly describe the process to achieve the above. 

Browse to Inventory  Discovery You can either create a new template under the discovery settings and add the 

protocol settings and the credential information and discover the network devices or you can import a comma-

separated value (CSV) file with the device information (IP address, SNMP credentials, and so on).
