Which Device Software Versions Are Supported by Cisco EPN Manager?
All devices should be running a certified device software version. However, certain devices must be running the minimum device software version. Follow the instructions in the table below on how to find out about a device software version.
To find this information: |
Do the following: |
A list of all certified device software versions |
Refer to Cisco EPN Manager. |
Choose Software Version column to display a popup. and hover over the "i" in the |

Devices that require a minimum device software version |
Choose Software Version column for text similar to >=x.x (For example, >=12.2 would indicate that the device must run at least device software version 12.2). and check the |
Generic Device Support

Generic Device Support: Map a New Generic Device
You can manage a generic device by mapping it to a Cisco device to support functionalities such as inventory management, device level configuration, service provisioning, topology discovery, and fault management.
Note |
The Cisco device that you intend to map with a generic device must have a similar parity and version level. |
To map a new generic device to a Cisco device,
Procedure
Step 1 |
Navigate to , and choose . |
||
Step 2 |
Click the "+" icon under Custom Device Profile to open an Add Custom Device Profile window. |
||
Step 3 |
Enter the Product OID, Original Device Type, and Existing Device Profile Tree (Cisco device type). |
||
Step 4 |
Once the mapping is complete, go to Network devices, add the newly mapped generic device and manage it. See Add and Organize Devices.
|
Generic Device Support: Map an Existing Generic Device
You can map an existing generic device to a Cisco device to extend the support for functionalities such as inventory management, device level configuration, service provisioning, topology discovery, and fault management.
Note |
The Cisco device type that you intend to map with a generic device must have the similar parity and version level. |
To map an existing generic device to a Cisco device,
Procedure
Step 1 |
Navigate to , and choose . |

Step 2 |
Click the "+" icon under Custom Device Profile to open an Add Custom Device Profile window. |
||
Step 3 |
Enter the Product OID, Original Device Type, and Existing Device Profile Tree (Cisco device type). |
||
Step 4 |
Once the mapping is complete, go to Network devices and click the Sync option. This completes the mapping procedure and syncs the generic device with its mapped Cisco device type.
