Cisco Catalyst 9400 User Manual

Enable NETCONF. Cisco DNA Center uses the NETCONF protocol to provision configuration and
retrieve the required information from the product instance - the product instance must therefore have
NETCONF enabled, to facilitate this.
For more information, see the Programmability Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.x.
In the guide, go to Model-Driven Programmability > NETCONF Protocol.

Where tasks is performed: Cisco DNA Center GUI
An outline of the tasks you must complete and the accompanying documentation reference is provided
below. The document provides detailed steps you have to complete in the Cisco DNA Center GUI:
a. Set-up the Smart Account and Virtual Account.
Enter the same log in credentials that you use to log in to the CSSM Web UI. This enables Cisco DNA
Center to establish a connection with CSSM.
See the Cisco DNA Center Administrator Guide of the required release (Release 2.2.2 onwards) >
Manage Licenses > Set Up License Manager.
b. Add the required product instances to Cisco DNA Center inventory and assign them to a site.
This enables Cisco DNA Center to push any necessary configuration, including the required certificates,
for Smart Licensing Using Policy to work as expected.
See the Cisco DNA Center User Guide of the required release (Release 2.2.2 onwards) > Display
Your Network Topology > Assign Devices to a Site.
Result:
After you implement the topology, you must trigger the very first ad hoc report in Cisco DNA Center, to
establish a mapping between the Smart Account and Virtual Account, and product instance. See the Cisco
DN A Center Administrator Guide of the required release (Release 2.2.2 onwards) > Manage Licenses > Upload
Resource Utilization Details to CSSM. Once this is done, Cisco DNA Center handles subsequent reporting
based on the reporting policy.
If multiple policies are available, Cisco DNA Center maintains the narrowest reporting interval. You can
change this, but only to report more frequently (a narrower interval). See the Cisco DNA Center Administrator
Guide of the required release (Release 2.2.2 onwards) > Manage Licenses > Modify License Policy.
If you want to change the license level after this, see the Cisco DN A Center Administrator Guide of the required
release (Release 2.2.2 onwards) > Manage Licenses > Change License Level.
