DNAC PnP Day 0 Switch Provision with Template

[StephenAbbs]

I have DNAC running 1.2.6 code, and a brand new C9410R switch that I want to provision using PnP and then push a simple template to.

I have finally got PnP to work (C9410R gets an IP address via option 43 from the DHCP server and the logs show a 'PnP Successful' message).

However the template doesn't push.  I have followed the useful blog by Adam Radford on the subject, and created the workflow etc.

Are there any other decent sources of information on the PnP process and using the DNAC Template Manager to push a simple template in a Day 0 or Day 1 provisioning scenario?

Thank you.

Good command to know.

After:

this is what is seen looping around:

*Feb 13 18:15:00.843: %PNPA-DISCOVERY: 1 _pddd.eRr.ccu: PnP profile config unsuccessful, retrying in 5s.Config count = 5

I've tried to research those errors but can't find anything substantial.

[aradford]

Are you using the management interface for PnP?

[StephenAbbs]

Correct - using the Mgmt interface on the C4910R

[aradford]

i thought mgmt port was supported on all 9k.

that seems to indicate an issue with mgmt port.

can you just try an ethernet port as a test (just to rule out mgmt port causing issues)

[StephenAbbs]

Thank you for your continued help with this Adam - really want to see this working now!

We tried the uplink from one of the SUP modules, and an ethernet port on one of the Line Cards.

Unfortunately, I have to report that this was unsuccessful in that the device just sat at:

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

So we only seem to get any PnP traffic when using the Mgmt port...
