Configuring NTP and DNS for NAMs
It is extremely important to configure NTP and DNS for all the NAMs in your network. You can now configure those
without going to the CLI or logging in to the individual NAM web GUIs. From the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Device
Work Center, navigate to Device Group > Device Type > Cisco Interfaces and Modules. Click the name of the NAM
on which you want to configure NTP/DNS, and then click Configure in the bottom pane. Now click Feature on the
below
(still in the bottom pane), and you will see a link for “system.” Click it to see a form for this NAM that allows
you to configure all the system-related information for a given NAM including NTP and DNS. The image on the left
(below) shows where the NTP and DNS can be configured.
Connection to Cisco.com
Cisco.com connection is required for some of the advanced features such as Smart Interactions (TAC service
requests, and support forums), importing software images, contract connection, and many others. It is vital for the
Cisco Prime Infrastructure server to be able to connect to Cisco.com to pull the data for those reasons. There are
two parts to making this work: proxy settings and Cisco.com user settings.
Proxy Settings
If Cisco Prime Infrastructure requires a proxy to connect to the Internet, you can enter the proxy information by
going to Administration > System Settings > Proxy Settings. You can enable proxy settings and enter all the
proxy information there. Authenticating proxies is also supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
