Ensure that the provided port number corresponds to the Netconf service port configured on your network devices. NETCONF with user privilege 15 is mandatory for enabling Wireless Services on Wireless capable devices such as Catalyst 9000 series Switches and C9800 Series Wireless Controllers. The NETCONF credentials are required to connect to C9800 Series Wireless Controllers as the majority of data collection is done using NETCONF for these Devices.

resync_max_timeout

integer

Sets the maximum timeout for the device resync process in the inventory, in seconds. The default is 600 seconds, which helps prevent infinite loops.

Default: 600

role

string

Role of device which can be ACCESS, CORE, DISTRIBUTION, BORDER ROUTER, UNKNOWN. ALL - This role typically represents all devices within the network, regardless of their specific roles or functions. UNKNOWN - This role is assigned to devices whose roles or functions have not been identified or classified within Cisco Catalsyt Center. This could happen if the platform is unable to determine the device’s role based on available information. ACCESS - This role typically represents switches or access points that serve as access points for end-user devices to connect to the network. These devices are often located at the edge of the network and provide connectivity to end-user devices. BORDER ROUTER - These are devices that connect different network domains or segments together. They often serve as gateways between different networks, such as connecting an enterprise network to the internet or connecting multiple branch offices. DISTRIBUTION - This role represents function as distribution switches or routers in hierarchical network designs. They aggregate traffic from access switches and route it toward the core of the network or toward other distribution switches. CORE - This role typically represents high-capacity switches or routers that form the backbone of the network. They handle large volumes of traffic and provide connectivity between different parts of network, such as connecting distribution switches or providing interconnection between different network segments.

serial_number_list

list / elements=string

A list of serial numbers representing devices. Operations such as updating, deleting, resyncing, or rebooting can be performed as alternatives to using IP addresses.

snmp_auth_passphrase

string

SNMP authentication passphrase required for adding network, compute, and third-party devices.

snmp_auth_protocol

string

SNMP authentication protocol. SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) - cryptographic hash function commonly used for data integrity verification and authentication purposes.

Default: "SHA"

snmp_mode

string

Device’s snmp Mode refer to different SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) versions and their corresponding security levels. NOAUTHNOPRIV - This mode provides no authentication or encryption for SNMP messages. It means that devices communicating using SNMPv1 do not require any authentication (username/password) or encryption (data confidentiality). This makes it the least secure option. AUTHNOPRIV - This mode provides authentication but no encryption for SNMP messages. Authentication involves validating the source of the SNMP messages using a community string (similar to a password). However, the data transmitted between devices is not encrypted, so it’s susceptible to eavesdropping. AUTHPRIV - This mode provides both authentication and encryption for SNMP messages. It offers the highest level of security among the three options. Authentication ensures that the source of the messages is genuine, and encryption ensures that the data exchanged between devices is confidential and cannot be intercepted by unauthorized parties.

snmp_priv_passphrase

string

SNMP private passphrase required for adding network, compute, and third-party devices.

snmp_priv_protocol

string

SNMP private protocol required for adding network, compute, and third-party devices.

snmp_retry

integer

SNMP retry count.

Default: 3

snmp_ro_community

string

SNMP Read-Only community required for adding V2C devices.

snmp_rw_community

string

SNMP Read-Write community required for adding V2C devices.

snmp_timeout

integer

SNMP timeout duration.

Default: 5

snmp_username

string

SNMP username required for adding network, compute, and third-party devices.

snmp_version

string

It is a standard protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices. v2 - In this communication between the SNMP manager (such as Cisco Catalyst) and the managed devices (such as routers, switches, or access points) is based on community strings.Community strings serve as form of authentication and they are transmitted in clear text, providing no encryption. v3 - It is the most secure version of SNMP, providing authentication, integrity, and encryption features. It allows for the use of usernames, authentication passwords, and encryption keys, providing stronger security compared to v2.

type

string

Select Device’s type from NETWORK_DEVICE, COMPUTE_DEVICE, MERAKI_DASHBOARD, THIRD_PARTY_DEVICE, FIREPOWER_MANAGEMENT_SYSTEM. NETWORK_DEVICE - This refers to traditional networking equipment such as routers, switches, access points, and firewalls. These devices are responsible for routing, switching, and providing connectivity within the network. COMPUTE_DEVICE - These are computing resources such as servers, virtual machines, or containers that are part of the network infrastructure. Cisco Catalyst Center can integrate with compute devices to provide visibility and management capabilities, ensuring that the network and compute resources work together seamlessly to support applications and services. MERAKI_DASHBOARD - It is cloud-based platform used to manage Meraki networking devices, including wireless access points, switches, security appliances, and cameras. THIRD_PARTY_DEVICE - This category encompasses devices from vendors other than Cisco or Meraki. Cisco Catalyst Center is designed to support integration with third-party devices through open standards and APIs. This allows organizations to manage heterogeneous network environments efficiently using Cisco Catalyst Center’s centralized management and automation capabilities. FIREPOWER_MANAGEMENT_SYSTEM - It is a centralized management console used to manage Cisco’s Firepower Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) devices. It provides features such as policy management, threat detection, and advanced security analytics.
