Overview

This section highlights the essential conditions you must fulfill to ensure a smooth onboarding of IR routers to Secure Equipment Access (SEA) service.

You must meet the following prerequisites before enabling SEA on industrial routers:

  • Ensure you have a valid IoT Operations Dashboard (IoT OD) organization (cloud tenant). If you don’t have one, send a request to mailto:iotod-account-request@cisco.com.

  • Confirm you have both Application Manager and SEA System Admin roles in the organization. For details, see SEA roles and permissions.

  • Verify that the IR routers are running Cisco IOS XE version 17.15.1 or later.

  • Ensure the IR routers have an active Internet connection to us.ciscoiot.com or eu.ciscoiot.com, depending on the IoT OD cluster used.
