Installing Cisco Cable SDN Application

Before you begin

  • Before installing the Cisco Cable SDN application, the Cisco Open SDN Controller must be installed. For detailed information about how to install and use the Cisco Open SDN Controller, see Cisco Open SDN Controller 1.2 Installation Guide and Cisco Open SDN Controller 1.2 Administrator Guide.

  • Make sure the DNS is configured properly. Although DNS is listed as optional in the official Cisco Open SDN Controller guide, it is mandatory for the Cisco Cable SDN application installation. The DNS can be configured in two different ways:

    • During the installation of the Cisco Open SDN Controller, fill in DNS address in the Deploy OVF Template properties page:
