If you maintain a spreadsheet that has all the devices and would rather get started with that, you do have this 

option in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0. If you to go Operate > Device Work Center > Bulk Import, you get an 

import pop-up as shown in the figure below: 

 

Export the device template using the first “here” link. Use the exported CSV file to populate the device 

information. This will make sure your import goes through successfully. 

If you have a need to deploy devices in branches from time to time, automated branch deployment can really ease 

your Day-0 task, by empowering you with zero-touch deployment. This is another way of automatically adding 

devices in Cisco Prime Infrastructure. There are some guided workflows as well to onboard newer 3850 switches 
and 5760 controllers. We will talk about this method in detail in “Advance Configuration Topics.” 

Deploying Wireless and Advanced Instrumentation 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure can really simplify the dreaded task of deploying advance instrumentation like 

Application Visibility and Control (AVC), Flexible NetFlow, Next Generation Network Based Application Recognition 

2 (NBAR2), and much more. Cisco Prime Infrastructure uses converged configuration templates to achieve this 

task. This section will focus on instrumentation that will help visualize some of the common challenges in managing 

application responses within a corporation.
