Hi Team,
Hope you all doing well.
I just want know few thing about Cisco Prime Infra 2.x.
1st thing is does CPI2.x support Network topology View? if not then is that any other feature which can provide Network View (exa :- Map,etc)?
2nd thing is it possible to take Telnet/Ssh of discovered device from CPI2.x then how we can do that?
3rd Thing if we want to add third party device in CPI2.x then what are prerequisite for the same (Vendor MIB, etc) and procedure?
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
Network topology View feature supported added in PI 2.2 . so with PI 2.2. you can view the Network topology .
Telnet\SSH via PI , I don't think. this feature is available in PI as of now,
Third-party support

Afroz - remember node locking was phased out as of PI 2.2 and the license will not need to be rehosted.

Step 1:: take the backup of the existing PI which is PI 2.1
Step2 :: Installed PI 2.2 ( it will be a fresh installation , there is no inline -upgarde for PI 2.2. )
Step 3: Restore the backup

Hi Afroz,
Thanks for your prompt and appropriate support on subject issue.
I have successfully upgrade PI 2.1 to PI 2.2 with the help of your guidance, as Marvin said previous license file has been used to licensed PI 2.2. now under "Maps" option I can view "Network Topology" Option. I'll add node in it and will update you on the same.
Thanks,
Vishal
