Zorluk: OrtaCisco DNA Center Enabled Device Management

A network administrator is using Cisco DNA Center to onboard and configure a newly discovered switch. What is the correct order of steps required to complete the device provisioning workflow from start to finish?

  1. 1Select the newly discovered switch from the unassigned inventory list in Cisco DNA Center.
  2. 2Assign the switch to a specific location within the network site hierarchy (Area, Building, or Floor).
  3. 3Apply the appropriate network settings and attach required configuration templates in the provisioning wizard.
  4. 4Review the generated CLI configuration preview and select the deployment schedule.
  5. 5Deploy the configuration push and verify that the switch status changes to Provisioned.

Cevap

The correct sequence for provisioning a device in Cisco DNA Center is: 1) Select the switch from unassigned inventory, 2) Assign it to a network site, 3) Apply network settings and configuration templates, 4) Review the generated CLI preview and deployment schedule, and 5) Deploy the configuration and verify the switch status becomes Provisioned.
The Cisco DNA Center device provisioning workflow follows a strict logical sequence: first selecting the device from the unassigned inventory pool, assigning it to a site location in the network hierarchy, binding the relevant settings and CLI templates, reviewing the synthesized CLI configuration diff, and finally deploying the job to update the device status to Provisioned.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the device in inventory
The target switch is selected under Provision > Network Devices > Inventory.
Provisioning must target an unassigned device discovered by Cisco DNA Center.
2
Assign device to site hierarchy
The device is mapped to a specific Area/Building/Floor location.
Site assignment determines which global/site-level policies and settings (DNS, Syslog, SNMP, NTP) apply to the device.
3
Configure templates and device settings
CLI configuration templates and site settings are associated with the switch.
Day-N operational settings and day-1 configuration templates must be attached prior to building the deployment payload.
4
Preview configuration and set schedule
The administrator validates the generated CLI diff and selects immediate or scheduled execution.
Previewing ensures configuration accuracy and prevents unintended network outages.
5
Execute deployment and verify state
Cisco DNA Center applies the configuration and updates inventory status to Provisioned.
Successful execution completes the provisioning cycle, allowing Assurance monitoring to track device health.
