Cisco NDFC deploy issue

Han_Sen — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 08:16:01 GMT

Hi, all, i'm using Cisco NDFC to configure N9K devices which are Border gateway role.

After click Recalculate, the configs are generated, but why the button "Deploy All" is grayed out, when i move the mouse to the button and a fobideen icon appears so i can not click the deploy button...that's really confusing me, i don't have much experience for NDFC...hope anyone know the reason can tell me this.

Hello @Han_Sen

Before trying to deploy new config lines, all the Nexus are in-sync?

Ensure that all node are in-sync before modification, re do a "recalculate" to perform sync config.

Hi, friend, no, it's not showing in-sync. After importing devices, the config-status display grayed "NA".

After setting role as BorderGateway and then do Recalculate, it shows out-of-sync, same after do resync, don't know why...

Any guide on this

Ok @Han_Sen

All Nexus have to be in-sync before deploy configuration...

So check alarme errors. It seems that you have minor alarm...

Do you already perform a discovery ?

Hmmm, there are just some interfaces not connected which are not in use...So this will impact the deploy?...I just shotdown these interfaces and it becomes "healthy".

But still can not deploy... forgive me, i'm so new on this product...

No impact.

Do you perform a Discovery ? With the discovery account...

I have the same basic issue, what was the cause and resolution for you?

Hi All,

1) Just wait for sometime, if deployment lines are more NDFC takes some time to show deploy , personal experience :).

2) if the leafs are BGWs, hope you are doing from parent fabric not child fabric.

3) Dont try to do recalulate and deploy again and again.It will make system busy, again personal experience

4) If possible use API call to NDFC for Recalcualte and deploy (R&D).

Do you have change control enabled? You will have to approve the ticket before you can deploy if you do.
Go to:
Manage > Change Control > Select Ticket > Actions > submit for approval
Then:
Manage > Change Control > Select Ticket > Actions > Approve
Then:
Manage > Change Control > Select Ticket > Actions > Deploy
On the next page > deploy all
