DNAC - Unique device report / count

[chris.gruber]

Is there a way in DNA Center to provide a total device count where switch stacks are not counted as 1 but as number of members.

So if I have 2 stacks of 5 members each the count would be 10, not 2.

Thanks

You can run an Inventory report and there will be a column for Serial Number that will show the number of switches in the stack.  A little bit of scripting or linux CLI magic could count those up.  It doesn't hurt for you to open a Make a Wish in the Catalyst Center Help Menu to request to make this even more straightforward.

Thanks Preston,

Yeah, I can export this to Excel as well and massage the data there, but scripting and hacking CSVs to get a simple physical device count doesn't exactly scream modern, AI underpinned NMS

But good suggestion with the Make a Wish - will do that.

Appreciate your response.

@chris.gruber so my guess is that 1 year later this still hasn't been implemented... well..manual excel work it is then..

Does anyone know how many "Make a Wish" requests it takes to bubble this up the priority list?
