Cisco Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Installation Guide

To set up the Cisco Prime Plug and Play Gateway OVA, follow these steps.

Log in to the Cisco Prime Plug and Play Gateway server by using the administrative username and password. 

In the command prompt, enter the pnp setup command and press Enter. 

The console prompts for the following parameters:

IP Address —The IP address to be used by the Plug and Play gateway server.

SSL Server Certificate — The self/CA signed server certificate for Plug and Play Gateway.

CNS Event — The CNS event configuration that will be deployed on the device for dynamic location.

The console displays the following:

        ######################################################################

        Enter Plug and Play Gateway Setup (setup log /var/KickStart/install/setup.log)

        For detail information about the parameters in this setup,

        refer to Plug and Play Gateway Admin Guide.

        ######################################################################

Enter Prime Infrastructure IP Address: [10.104.105.168] 

Enable self certificate for server bgl-pnp-dev1-ovf (y/n) [y] 

Self Signed Certificate already available do you want to recreate (y/n)? [n] 

        Automatic download of SSL Certificate is possible if

        Prime Infrastructure Server is up and running.

Automatically download the certificate for server 10.104.105.168 (y/n) [y] n

Enter absolute pathname of Prime Infrastructure server certificate file: 

[/var/KickStart/install/ncs_server_certificate.crt] 

        The maximum number of Event Gateways allowed is '10' for both plain text

        and ssl combined. The Event Gateway ports 11011 and 11012 are reserved for port

        automatic allocation.These ports are not counted while taking the maximum number of ports.

        Each Event Gateway can serves up to a maximum of 1000 devices.

Enter number of Event Gateways that will be started with crypto operation: [5] 10

All the ports are configured for crypto operation. No plain text port is available. Is it the right 

configuration y/n: [y] 

        The CNS Event command configures how the managed devices should

        connect to this particular Plug and Play Gateway. The command entered in the following

        line should match what's configured on the devices WITHOUT the port

        number and keyword 'encrypt' if cryptographic is enabled.

        For example, if the following CLI is configured on devices

        "cns event bgl-pnp-dev1-ovf encrypt 11012 keepalive 120 2 reconnect 10",

        then `encrypt 11012` should be removed and the below line should be entered :

        "cns event bgl-pnp-dev1-ovf keepalive 120 2 reconnect 10"

        Another example, if this is a backup Plug and Play Gateway and the following CLI is

        configured on devices

        "cns event bgl-pnp-dev1-ovf 11011 source Vlan1 backup", then `11011`

        should be removed and the below line should be entered :

        "cns event bgl-pnp-dev1-ovf source Vlan1 backup"

        Unable to enter a correct CLI could cause the managed devices not

        be able to connect to this Plug and Play Gateway. For details, please refer to

        Installation and Configuration Guide.

Enter CNS Event command: [cns event bgl-pnp-dev1-ovf keepalive 120 2 reconnect 10]
