ISE Import Network Devices via CSV

[jharper2]

I am attempting to import a CSV file to add large quantities of Network Devices. I have downloaded the template that is provided in ISE and filled in the necessary information. When I go to import the CSV, I have received a variety of errors. What is the correct process for importing a CSV file?

Hi,

Importing devices using the CSV file should be a straight forward process however is sounds like there is something going on. Please reach out to the TAC to troubleshoot further.

There are a few different common errors when you import from a CSV. Share the errors with us and there might be an easy fix.

1. NDG group doesnt exist - Column F includes the network device group and location information. You need to pre build these in ISE, ISE will not generate the NDG structure during import.
2. Invalid ip address - Column C needs to be specified with a subnet mask, ex. 10.1.3.6/32
3. Format issue - Coulmn AX "Enable Multi Shared Secret:Boolean(true|false)" has to be blank depending on certain conditions, neither true nor false, just blank.
