WEBVTT 1 00:00.000 --> 00:08.600 So as we jump in and begin configuring our SD WAN environment, starting with SD 2 00:08.600 --> 00:11.440 WAN 18.3, 3 00:11.440 --> 00:18.160 we are going to need an authorized device list from the Cisco licensing portal. 4 00:18.160 --> 00:23.080 Now what we have to do is we have to go sign up for the licensing portal. 5 00:23.080 --> 00:26.560 We then have to assign some devices to ourselves. 6 00:26.560 --> 00:32.440 And then we either have to synchronize VManage to the licensing portal, which WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 6 00:26.560 --> 00:32.440 And then we either have to synchronize VManage to the licensing portal, which 7 00:32.440 --> 00:33.800 we can do. 8 00:33.800 --> 00:39.340 Or this being a lab, we're going to go the other way, which is you can actually 9 00:39.340 --> 00:39.920 download 10 00:39.920 --> 00:45.440 the licensing file and then upload that to our VManage server later. 11 00:45.440 --> 00:48.280 So let's go ahead and walk through the process. 12 00:48.280 --> 00:52.400 Now I already have an account set up with smart licensing, but I will be 13 00:52.400 --> 00:53.120 showing you 14 00:53.120 --> 00:58.640 a screenshot of where you'd have to go to actually create the account and sign 15 00:58.640 --> 00:58.960 up. 16 00:58.960 --> 01:02.840 And then we'll jump into the actual portal and we'll take a look at how to WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 16 00:58.960 --> 01:02.840 And then we'll jump into the actual portal and we'll take a look at how to 17 01:02.840 --> 01:04.200 assign devices 18 01:04.200 --> 01:06.360 and how to download that file. 19 01:06.360 --> 01:09.640 Let's go ahead and take a look. 20 01:09.640 --> 01:13.960 So to begin this process, we'll go here to this URL. 21 01:13.960 --> 01:17.780 There is a link provided right below this video for your convenience, but it's 22 01:17.780 --> 01:18.000 simply 23 01:18.000 --> 01:24.680 software.cisco.com and this will bring up the Cisco Software Central website. 24 01:24.680 --> 01:29.560 Here is where we can download and manage our various licenses. 25 01:29.560 --> 01:33.710 Now if you don't already have an account, what we're going to need to do is WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 25 01:29.560 --> 01:33.710 Now if you don't already have an account, what we're going to need to do is 26 01:33.710 --> 01:34.360 scroll down 27 01:34.360 --> 01:39.570 to the bottom of this page and under smart licensing here, you'll want to click 28 01:39.570 --> 01:39.960 here 29 01:39.960 --> 01:42.080 on new account. 30 01:42.080 --> 01:48.690 Now this is assuming that you already have, we'll say a normal Cisco CCO 31 01:48.690 --> 01:49.880 account. 32 01:49.880 --> 01:53.600 When you click on create account, it's going to take you to a page to fill in 33 01:53.600 --> 01:54.160 all of your 34 01:54.160 --> 01:55.680 information. 35 01:55.680 --> 02:00.920 As I said, I captured a screenshot of this when I created my account. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 35 01:55.680 --> 02:00.920 As I said, I captured a screenshot of this when I created my account. 36 02:00.920 --> 02:03.800 So let's take a look at what you have to fill out. 37 02:03.800 --> 02:07.990 So this is a screenshot of where that will take you when you click on to create 38 02:07.990 --> 02:08.480 a smart 39 02:08.480 --> 02:09.680 account. 40 02:09.680 --> 02:13.800 They will bring up all of your information from your Cisco profile. 41 02:13.800 --> 02:18.480 So all of this should be filled in with your personal information. 42 02:18.480 --> 02:23.130 Obviously I have most of this blurred out for privacy reasons, but also down 43 02:23.130 --> 02:23.720 here at the 44 02:23.720 --> 02:31.390 bottom under the account name, you have to choose a unique account on Cisco.com WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 44 02:23.720 --> 02:31.390 bottom under the account name, you have to choose a unique account on Cisco.com 45 02:31.390 --> 02:31.440 . 46 02:31.440 --> 02:34.480 Now I put in SDWAN here as an example. 47 02:34.480 --> 02:38.960 Of course, I did not actually create the account with that account name because 48 02:38.960 --> 02:39.280 that's 49 02:39.280 --> 02:45.580 already taken, but the point is you have to put in something here that's unique 50 02:45.580 --> 02:45.760 . 51 02:45.760 --> 02:49.880 Once this is filled in, you simply hit create account. 52 02:49.880 --> 02:54.680 Once we've created our account, we can then go back to the licensing portal. 53 02:54.680 --> 02:58.990 So back here on the licensing portal, what we're looking for is this section 54 02:58.990 --> 02:59.640 here network 55 02:59.640 --> 03:01.360 plug and play. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 55 02:59.640 --> 03:01.360 plug and play. 56 03:01.360 --> 03:06.200 You can see it says this is to automate the device discovery and activation on- 57 03:06.200 --> 03:07.080 prem or 58 03:07.080 --> 03:08.640 from the cloud. 59 03:08.640 --> 03:12.550 We're going to be doing the on-prem because again, we're going to download that 60 03:12.550 --> 03:13.240 license. 61 03:13.240 --> 03:16.760 So the first thing we want to do is click on manage devices. 62 03:16.760 --> 03:21.190 When you click on that, it should bring up this page showing all of your 63 03:21.190 --> 03:22.680 currently provisioned 64 03:22.680 --> 03:24.040 devices. 65 03:24.040 --> 03:28.360 Now as you can see, I already have some things assigned to my account here. 66 03:28.360 --> 03:31.480 You will not have anything here to begin with. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 66 03:28.360 --> 03:31.480 You will not have anything here to begin with. 67 03:31.480 --> 03:36.960 What you'll need to do first is click here on controller profiles. 68 03:36.960 --> 03:39.160 So let's go ahead and do that. 69 03:39.160 --> 03:43.740 What you'll want to do if you're in here for the first time is click on the add 70 03:43.740 --> 03:44.640 profile. 71 03:44.640 --> 03:48.360 I already have mine added, but if I click on add profile, you can see what it's 72 03:48.360 --> 03:48.760 going 73 03:48.760 --> 03:51.760 to do is it's going to ask you the type. 74 03:51.760 --> 03:58.520 You can choose on this list, whether it's a PNP server, VBond or WLC. 75 03:58.520 --> 04:03.770 We of course would want to choose VBond, hit next, and here's where you would WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 75 03:58.520 --> 04:03.770 We of course would want to choose VBond, hit next, and here's where you would 76 04:03.770 --> 04:04.360 fill in 77 04:04.360 --> 04:09.390 information such as the profile name, give it a description if you want, set 78 04:09.390 --> 04:09.640 this to 79 04:09.640 --> 04:14.540 be your default, set the deployment type, whether it's multi-tenancy, and here 80 04:14.540 --> 04:15.080 's where 81 04:15.080 --> 04:18.280 you need to put in your organizational name. 82 04:18.280 --> 04:21.720 Now I have my organizational name in here already. 83 04:21.720 --> 04:25.920 As I mentioned previously, this does have to be unique. 84 04:25.920 --> 04:32.520 So for my example, I will be using ANE_SD-WAN. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 84 04:25.920 --> 04:32.520 So for my example, I will be using ANE_SD-WAN. 85 04:32.520 --> 04:37.010 I wanted to use SD-WAN as I said it was taken, so I just put some letters in 86 04:37.010 --> 04:37.960 front of it. 87 04:37.960 --> 04:41.000 I just like to say that that's awesome network engineer. 88 04:41.000 --> 04:45.400 You can put in whatever you want, but again, this does have to be unique. 89 04:45.400 --> 04:52.510 Then under the primary controller, you do need to fill in here the host name or 90 04:52.510 --> 04:53.800 the IPv4 91 04:53.800 --> 04:56.000 or IPv6 address. 92 04:56.000 --> 05:00.670 So if I were to say IPv4, for example, I could simply put in the IP address WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 92 04:56.000 --> 05:00.670 So if I were to say IPv4, for example, I could simply put in the IP address 93 05:00.670 --> 05:01.660 specifically 94 05:01.660 --> 05:04.160 of the VBond server. 95 05:04.160 --> 05:07.680 Now I have of course already created this. 96 05:07.680 --> 05:11.340 The next steps as you can see, steps three and four would be to review your 97 05:11.340 --> 05:12.040 information 98 05:12.040 --> 05:13.440 and confirm it. 99 05:13.440 --> 05:16.980 I'm just going to cancel at this point and we'll just take a look at what I 100 05:16.980 --> 05:17.440 already 101 05:17.440 --> 05:19.120 have configured. 102 05:19.120 --> 05:24.600 So instead what we'll do is we'll simply highlight mine and we'll hit edit 103 05:24.600 --> 05:24.720 selected. 104 05:24.720 --> 05:28.200 And as we can see, I already have an existing profile. 105 05:28.200 --> 05:30.560 I simply named it SD-WAN. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 105 05:28.200 --> 05:30.560 I simply named it SD-WAN. 106 05:30.560 --> 05:32.700 I didn't bother with a description. 107 05:32.700 --> 05:34.620 It is set to be my default. 108 05:34.620 --> 05:36.260 It's customer hosted. 109 05:36.260 --> 05:38.260 It's not multi-tenancy. 110 05:38.260 --> 05:44.100 We can see that I've put my organizational name in here and I'm defining my VB 111 05:44.100 --> 05:45.060 ond server 112 05:45.060 --> 05:50.970 with IPv4 and the address that we're going to be giving to our VBond server, 113 05:50.970 --> 05:51.740 which is 114 05:51.740 --> 05:55.420 10.100.10.216. 115 05:55.420 --> 05:57.980 All of this being configured correctly. 116 05:57.980 --> 06:02.060 I don't need to change any of this right now so I can just cancel. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 116 05:57.980 --> 06:02.060 I don't need to change any of this right now so I can just cancel. 117 06:02.060 --> 06:07.050 But of course we could make any changes here we need to since we're in edit 118 06:07.050 --> 06:07.340 profile. 119 06:07.340 --> 06:13.130 Once you have your profile created, this is when we can go back over to devices 120 06:13.130 --> 06:13.160 . 121 06:13.160 --> 06:18.620 So back on devices, you would then have to add software devices. 122 06:18.620 --> 06:25.230 In my case, I actually already have quite a few V-edge devices here, but I only 123 06:25.230 --> 06:25.820 added 124 06:25.820 --> 06:31.140 5 C8000Vs for testing purposes. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 124 06:25.820 --> 06:31.140 5 C8000Vs for testing purposes. 125 06:31.140 --> 06:35.560 So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go ahead and add 10 more Cisco 126 06:35.560 --> 06:36.660 8000Vs. 127 06:36.660 --> 06:40.260 So let's go ahead and click on add software devices. 128 06:40.260 --> 06:45.560 Then we'll choose add software device and it wants a base PID or the product 129 06:45.560 --> 06:47.340 identifier. 130 06:47.340 --> 06:52.340 C8000V will be the catalyst 8000V. 131 06:52.340 --> 06:55.820 For quantity, like I said, I'll just go ahead and add 10. 132 06:55.820 --> 06:57.740 We'll choose our controller profile. 133 06:57.740 --> 07:02.100 This is where we choose SD-WAN for the device mode. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 133 06:57.740 --> 07:02.100 This is where we choose SD-WAN for the device mode. 134 07:02.100 --> 07:04.340 These are going to be controller based. 135 07:04.340 --> 07:07.030 We can of course add them as autonomous, but we're going to add them as 136 07:07.030 --> 07:08.780 controller based. 137 07:08.780 --> 07:12.740 And if we want, we can give it a description, which we don't have to. 138 07:12.740 --> 07:14.500 We'll just hit save. 139 07:14.500 --> 07:20.740 So this is going to be adding 10 catalyst 8000Vs in controller mode. 140 07:20.740 --> 07:25.980 Once again, at this point, I could still edit or delete this over here under 141 07:25.980 --> 07:26.940 actions. 142 07:26.940 --> 07:28.460 But this is what we want to do. 143 07:28.460 --> 07:30.580 So let's go ahead and hit next. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 143 07:28.460 --> 07:30.580 So let's go ahead and hit next. 144 07:30.580 --> 07:32.140 We'll submit it. 145 07:32.140 --> 07:35.720 It tells me that it's been recorded and it's going to send me an email once the 146 07:35.720 --> 07:36.220 process 147 07:36.220 --> 07:37.620 is completed. 148 07:37.620 --> 07:39.740 So let's go ahead and hit done. 149 07:39.740 --> 07:43.900 And it takes us back here to the network plug and play connect page. 150 07:43.900 --> 07:49.020 And as you can see now, we have a whole bunch of catalyst 8000Vs. 151 07:49.020 --> 07:54.260 If I scroll down, you can see that there's 10 of them shown on this page. 152 07:54.260 --> 07:57.500 And we can also see here that there's a total of 30 records. 153 07:57.500 --> 07:59.460 I had 20 to begin with. 154 07:59.460 --> 08:01.740 We just added 10 more. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 154 07:59.460 --> 08:01.740 We just added 10 more. 155 08:01.740 --> 08:08.820 So now what I have is 15 catalyst 8000Vs and 15 V edge routers. 156 08:08.820 --> 08:11.300 So this will be fine for what we're trying to do. 157 08:11.300 --> 08:13.460 It's way more than we need for our lab. 158 08:13.460 --> 08:16.460 So now what we need to do is download the file. 159 08:16.460 --> 08:21.730 So if we scroll back up here, we go back over to controller profiles over here 160 08:21.730 --> 08:22.420 to the far 161 08:22.420 --> 08:27.460 right next to our SD WAN profile is the provisioning file. 162 08:27.460 --> 08:31.980 So now what we do is we click on provisioning file and it's going to ask us our WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 162 08:27.460 --> 08:31.980 So now what we do is we click on provisioning file and it's going to ask us our 163 08:31.980 --> 08:32.740 controller 164 08:32.740 --> 08:34.100 version. 165 08:34.100 --> 08:37.980 As we mentioned, 18 three needs a different type of file. 166 08:37.980 --> 08:43.500 So we're going to choose 18 three and newer and we're going to say download. 167 08:43.500 --> 08:49.950 This will of course save the file serial file dot Viptela into your default 168 08:49.950 --> 08:52.020 download folder. 169 08:52.020 --> 08:53.740 And for now, that's fine. 170 08:53.740 --> 08:55.780 I'll just leave it there. 171 08:55.780 --> 08:59.380 But make sure you hold on to this file because you're going to need it as we 172 08:59.380 --> 08:59.900 move through 173 08:59.900 --> 09:01.820 the rest of this skill. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 173 08:59.900 --> 09:01.820 the rest of this skill. 174 09:01.820 --> 09:06.740 But for now, that's all we need to download this file and have it ready for our 175 09:06.740 --> 09:09.180 next section. 176 09:09.180 --> 09:14.790 So our next step is to get basic connectivity up and working on our three 177 09:14.790 --> 09:15.820 servers. 178 09:15.820 --> 09:20.660 At the end of the last skill, we left our devices up and running. 179 09:20.660 --> 09:26.020 However, all we really did was verify their version and that we could log in. 180 09:26.020 --> 09:32.050 Now it's time to go in and put a baseline configuration on our V manage V smart WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 180 09:26.020 --> 09:32.050 Now it's time to go in and put a baseline configuration on our V manage V smart 181 09:32.050 --> 09:34.020 and V bond servers. 182 09:34.020 --> 09:36.460 So let's go ahead and do that next. 183 09:36.460 --> 09:46.460 [BLANK_AUDIO]
