Explains the process of creating network models using the Cisco Crosswork Planning UI. It guides through configuring device authentication credentials, network profiles, agents, collections, scheduling, archiving, and accessing plan files from the archive.
Network model creation workflow
Outlines how to create network models using the Cisco Crosswork Planning user interface, detailing the key setup stages including device access, agent configuration, data collection, scheduling, aggregation, and model review.
Preconfiguration workflow
Describes the preconfiguration workflow required to create a network model. It outlines the key steps involved in the process.
Configuring credential profiles
Explains how to configure credential profiles for securely managing device authentication and SNMP credentials, enabling secure access and communication with network devices in Cisco Crosswork Planning.
Configure a network profile
Guides you through configuring a network profile, including creating profiles, adding or editing network nodes, and applying node filters to include or exclude nodes based on IP address or hostname criteria.
Configure agents
Describes how to configure and manage SR-PCE or NetFlow agents in Cisco Crosswork Planning for network data collection.
Setting up collections
Outlines how to set up collections by configuring collectors and their parameters to create a network model. It describes the key components involved and details each stage required to successfully establish, schedule, and manage collection tasks.
Configure a collection
Provides instructions for configuring a network collection using the user interface to gather data from multiple devices, set collection parameters, and schedule automated data gathering for your network models. This procedure guides you through creating, configuring, and managing collections to optimize network monitoring and analysis.
Schedule a collection
Describes how to schedule automated data collections at specific times or intervals, ensuring that data is gathered consistently and according to your requirements.
Aggregate collector outputs
Explains how to exclude one or more collector outputs from aggregation when configuring or editing a network model collection schedule.
Configure archive
Guides you through managing archiving options and scheduling the storage of plan files in your collections.
View or download plan files
Outlines where to find and how to access archived network model plan files, depending on whether the Cisco Crosswork Planning Design and Collector applications are installed on the same machine or on different machines. It describes how to view and download these files from the Network Models page.
Collector configuration migration
Describes how to migrate collector configurations from Cisco WAE to Cisco Crosswork Planning, as well as between two Cisco Crosswork Planning instances. It covers the steps for migration, and important considerations to ensure a successful migration.
