APIC EM 1.0 and static paths

EricUlevik — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 12:26:33 GMT

I have installed APIC EM 1.0 and successfully discovered two Cisco 2901s (running 15.2 (4) M6a) in my lab.

However, I do not see any path information. Does using static routes mean that APIC EM can't tell me anything?

What does it look like in topology view in APIC-EM? Can you please show how these two are connected (in real world) ?

The topology diagram in the APIC EM web page is above. These devices are connected together in the real world. What I want to do is to switch traffic out of cisco2901-1 between two different path.

Sorry that didn't make it clear. "These devices are connected together" How do they connect together ? Directly ? Via .... that what I like to ask.

They are connected through another Cisco router.

Model ? IOS version ? of "another Cisco router" ? And it's not discovered by APIC-EM right ?

So connection looks like:

2901-1 --- "another Cisco router"(that maybe cloud node on the APIC-EM topology)---2901-2.

Can you "discover "another Cisco router" on APIC-EM to see if you can get the path ?

Another Cisco 2901; adding it shows as 'Unknown' node in the topology diagram, not connected to the tree.

It is running 15.0(1)M4

so no path(link in topology). Maybe try later version ? In the meanwhile, let me ask some experts>

Supported Routers	Minimum Software Version	Recommended Software Version
Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) G2	>=15.0(1)M, >=15.2(4)M2	Cisco IOS XE 15.2(4)M5, 15.1(4)M7

Do you have CDP enabled on the interfaces that link the devices? Also SNMP read on all devices? Today the controller uses CDP for neighbour information.
