Thank you very much for your help Adam. Our customer is really happy and I am also I have sent "I wish this page would" to APIC-EM team regarding support for ASR920. I will look at your blog regarding REST API. Would be great with a python script if you have time Regards, Laurent ... View more

Hi Adam, You are then man! After I have configured the following in the template the router gets provisioned successfully: int g8 no ip address This solution is great. The customer has 180 ISR 892FSP and around 20 ASR920 so we hope that the ASR920 will be supported soon in APIC-EM so we don´t have to manually provision it, do you know maybe when ASR920 will be supported in APIC-EM PNP? I have another question regarding the provisioning. We are using a project and then a template to provision the router. So the customer as to add the 200 devices under the project and fill in the different parameters in the configuration template. The template as 7 variables as you see here: I would like to know if there is a more efficient way to do this process (scripting or bulk import) . So my question is, will it be possible to use an excel sheet as bulk import including the above variables, the project name, the configuration for each location and so everything can get created from the excel sheet automatically? Maybe you know a better way to do it by scripting to automate this process better? Thank you very much for your help so far. Regards, Laurent ... View more

Hi Adam, Thanks for your quick reply. I will try later today and let you know. Regards, Laurent ... View more

Hi Aadm, Thank you very much for your response. You are right, the PNP process is now happening. I think my issue was that the 892 wasn´t getting an IP address from the DHCP. The ISP CPE router is configured as follows ( I use another 800 for test purpose). I have to note that I haven´t configured the pnp startup-vlan command on the ISP CPE as I couldn´t see any difference. ! interface FastEthernet5 description #PNP-AGENT# switchport trunk native vlan 3000 switchport mode trunk ! interface Vlan3000 description # MGT # ip address 10.250.148.1 255.255.255.252 ip helper-address 10.9.100.70 end ! The Customer CE is connected towards the ISP CE on a routed port (G8). The PNP configuration we want to push from APIC-EM is the following on this port: ! interface GigabitEthernet8 description # WAN # media-type rj45 no shut ! ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.250.${WAN-LOKATION_ID}.1 name APIC-EM-PNP ! interface g8.3000 description # MGT # encapsulation dot1Q 3000 native ip address 10.250.${WAN-LOKATION_ID}.2 255.255.255.252 no shut ! interface g8.3001 description # ADM # encapsulation dot1Q 3001 vrf forwarding ADM ip address 10.250.${WAN-LOKATION_ID}.6 255.255.255.252 no shut ! etc... Until 3008 ! When booting, the Customer CE router gets the APIC-EM info from DHCP and also contact the APIC-EM controller. It looks like everything goes well on the APIC-EM controller as it goes from "pending" to "deploying config" but then it goes stuck in this state and after a couple of minutes and then it changes to "error" state. If I Iog into the customer CE router, it looks like all the configuration has been applied by APIC-EM. The only thing which is missing is the IP address on the g8.3000 subinterface and now threre is "ip address dhcp" on the g8 interface which shouldn´t be there. Otherwise all the config has been applied successfully. ! ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.250.148.1 name APIC-EM-PNP ! interface GigabitEthernet8 description # WAN # ip address dhcp duplex auto speed auto media-type rj45 ! interface GigabitEthernet8.3000 description # MGT # encapsulation dot1Q 3000 native ! interface GigabitEthernet8.3001 description # ADM # encapsulation dot1Q 3001 vrf forwarding ADM ip address 10.250.148.6 255.255.255.252 ! etc...3008 ! Is that because PNP IOS agent is not supported on routed subinterface ? How can we solve this issue ? Regards, Laurent ... View more
