Cisco DNA 10G Port

Dhari Kh Abedula — Sat, 09 Mar 2019 01:29:20 GMT

Recently we deployed Cisco DNA in the network, using Port 2 DNA GUI as manage everything.

The question is How to config Port 1 10G?

From IMC through MGMT port or from KVM through magle ?

Do we need IP address on it? If Yes! What is the gateway because the don't allow to use more then one gateway?

I went through most of the documents all refer to contact the port to Enterprise Network!! Ok. How and where in network in core / Dist /Access?

A physical connection on 10G Port 1 is only necessary if you plan to do Deploy a cluster at day 0 or anytime later. Therefore Cisco reccomends to configure the interface right from the beginning. So it does not hurt to give it a IP Adress in the beginning. Just make sure you are not using the adress / subnet anywhere else on your network.

Basically the configuration of the network adapters has to be done during the inital setup of the appliance which means via KVM and / or CIMC.

The configuration can later be updated / changed via maglev config-Update.

Basically there is a Ubuntu running unser the hood so all well known commands like using TAB for auto completment or double TAB to lust all possible options will work.

Regarding your gateway question: it depends where you have Internet access.
