Ensure that the device that you want to LAN automate is running the Advantage license level. Otherwise, you cannot execute certain commands.

Note

Catalyst Center 2.3.5 and later support automatic license upgrade for C9000 and C3850 series switches.

New PnP agents have factory defaults and are ready to start LAN automation.

If you are reusing existing network devices, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that PnP agents have the required license to execute LISP, IS-IS routing, and CTS-related CLI commands. Use the show license summary or sh ver | i License command to view the current license level. If required, upgrade the license.

2. Ensure that PnP agents do not have stale certificates or keys from the previous runs. Use the show pnp status and show crypto pki trustpoints to view the PnP status and certificates.

3. Use these commands to restore the switch configurations to factory default:

   • For Cisco IOS XE 16.11 and earlier, use:

     [CLI config mode]
     
         no pnp profile pnp-zero-touch
         no crypto pki certificate pool
         Also remove any other crypto certs shown by "show run | inc crypto"
         crypto key zeroize
         config-register 0x2102 or 0x0102 (if not already)
         do write
         end

     [CLI exec mode]
     
         delete /force nvram:*.cer
         delete /force stby-nvram:*.cer (if a stack)
         delete /force flash:pnp-reset-config.cfg
         write erase 
         reload (enter no if asked to save)

   • For Cisco IOS XE 16.12.x or later, use:

     [CLI exec mode]
     
     pnpa service reset no-prompt
