Getting Started with Cisco IQ - Cisco IQ Link Setup

Okay, so now that we've added some cloud connectors and we've added our service contracts, the next step then is to add on premise devices. The way we do that is by deploying IQ link, which bridges connectivity into our premise and allows connectivity both either to Catalyst Center.00:00As well as directly to devices that aren't controller managed. So, ok, I'd go here and I'd click add IQ link, but before I do that, I need to go and deploy the software onto my premise. So let me show you how you go do that. You go down to the software catalog, and then you can see that I've got the IQ link software available through here.00:19Version 110 is our current version as of June 2026, and here's the release notes and some information around. The key information here is that we support ESXi hyper V and KVM for virtualization platforms.00:39So with that, I want to go download the file now, choose installation packages, and I'm gonna select KVM for my deployment at this point. Regarding documentation on installing IQ link.00:55We can go over to our getting started guide, and then we go under system settings, where we are in the application, we go to data connectors, we've got some information here around how to add IQ links, so this is the documentation that.01:10You will follow and that I will be replicating through video in order to get IQ Link set up.01:27
