A network administrator has added a newly discovered Cisco Catalyst switch to the inventory of Cisco DNA Center. The switch is currently listed under the unassigned devices pool. Which task must the administrator perform in Cisco DNA Center before site-level settings, software images, and configuration templates can be pushed to the device?
- Assign the switch to a specific site building or floor in the Network Hierarchy.Answer
- BManually execute CLI commands on the switch to enable NETCONF and RESTCONF protocols.
- CConfigure an HTTP POST request to the switch local management interface to update its CRUD profile.
- DChange the device role from Local mode to FlexConnect mode in the global system menu.
Answer
Assign the switch to a specific site building or floor in the Network Hierarchy.
In Cisco DNA Center, devices placed in the unassigned inventory pool cannot inherit network settings, configuration templates, or Software Image Management (SWIM) policies until they are assigned to a specific node (site, building, or floor) within the Network Hierarchy. Once assigned, the provisioning wizard pushes the appropriate site-specific configuration to the switch.
