Catalyst Center: IOS Configuration for SEA Deployment - Quick Start Guide

Prerequisite

1. Your device must be running IOS-XE version 17.13.1 or above.

2. Identify the interface you wish the device to use for cloud connectivity.

3. Ensure that you have already onboarded this device on the IoT OD GUI. For details see, Add a single externally managed device.

4. Identify the IoT cluster.

   • For US cluster: device-us.ciscoiot.com

   • For EU cluster: device-eu.ciscoiot.com

5. Insert the SD card and format/partition the SD card to create the required IOx partition in the card. This action erases all data on the card and format/partitions the card.

   ! If the complete SD card is being reserved for IOx, use the following command to format the SD card
   format sdflash: ext4
   ! Example:
   IE-3400#format sdflash: ext4
   Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]
   Format operation will destroy all data in "sdflash:".  Continue? [confirm]
   Format operation reloads, if partitions are there. Continue? [confirm]
   format completed with no errors
   ! If you want to partition the SD card to have both an IOx partition and FAT32 partition, use the following command
   partition sdflash: iox
   

6. Ensure that the DNS sever is able to resolve device-us.ciscoiot.com and us.ciscoiot.com.

7. If DHCP is used, specify the DHCP pool for the subnet in which the SEA agent will be installed.

8. Ensure that the switch has the VLAN(s) configured to support the application.

Prepare the configuration template as follows:
