Configuring Data Sources for Prime Infrastructure With Assurance
If you are licensing Assurance, you must complete pre-installation tasks so that Assurance can monitor your network interfaces 
and services. See 
 for information about these tasks. These tasks are in addition to those 
covered in 
Supported Assurance Data Sources
Prime Infrastructure with Assurance needs to collect data from your network devices using the exported data sources shown in 
. For each source, the table shows the devices that support this form of export, and the minimum version of IOS or other 
software that must be running on the device in order to export the data.
Use 
 to verify that your network devices and their software are compatible with the type of data sources Prime 
Infrastructure uses. If needed, upgrade your hardware or software. Note that each software version given is a minimum. Your 
devices can run any later version of the same software or IOS release train.
You may also need to make changes to ensure that Prime Infrastructure can collect data using SNMP, as explained in 
Configuring Assurance Data Sources
Before installing, you should enable the supported devices shown in 
 to provide Prime Infrastructure with fault, 
application, and performance data, and ensure that time and date information are consistent across your network. The following 
topics provide guidelines on how to do this.
