Cisco Prime IP Express 9.0 Quick Start Guide
Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Chapter: Introducing the Setup Web UI
Introducing the
Setup Web UI
The regional and local clusters of Cisco Prime IP Express web UI provides a setup environment in Basic user mode. The setup is in the form of a series of interview pages, very much like a wizard, based only on the selections you make.
License management is done from the regional cluster when Cisco Prime IP Express is installed. You must install the regional server first, and load all licenses in the regional server. When you install the local cluster, it registers with regional to obtain its license. See Cisco Prime IP Express 9.0 Installation Guide for details.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Setup Functions Regional
The setup pages provide these functions:

Setup Features and Navigation
The setup pages:
- Take you out of Basic and Advanced user modes and into special Setup mode. Basic and Advanced modes are for more specialized configuration after you set up the environment using the setup interview. These modes (and the server concepts) are described in detail in the Cisco Prime IP Express 9.0 Admin Guide.
- Include a Set up this Server page where you can enable and disable functions and which is the point of departure for all enabled function pages.
- Include
Back,
Next, and
Finish buttons
on pages so that you can step through sequentially, except that the
Back button is
not on the Set up this Server page and both
Back and
Next buttons
are not on the Setup Interview Tasks page. The
Finish button
takes you directly to the Setup Interview Tasks page.
Caution
Do not use the Back and Forward buttons of your browser to navigate through the setup process. Using the Back and Forward buttons of the browser can cause erratic behavior.
- Includes the Next button that opens further pages depending on the criteria you set. For example, if the DNS server is enabled, but the server is not indicated as primary, the setup pages bypass the High-Availability (HA) DNS server, zone distribution, and forward and backward zone configuration pages.
- Local setup interview provides the Services, DHCP, CDNS, DNS, DNS Update, Traps, and Finish tabs so that you can access functions despite their enabled or disabled status on the Set up this Server page. However, if a function is disabled on the Set up this Server page, the function appears disabled on its setup page. You can change the status on the particular setup page, which resets the status on the Set up this Server page.
- Regional setup interview provides the Services, DHCP, BYOD, Security and Finish tabs so that you can access functions if enabled on the Setup this Server page
- Is sometimes transactional and sometimes not. In some cases (such as with creating clusters and keys), writes to the database occur immediately when you enter a value. In other cases, writes to the database occur only when you click Next or Finish.
- Keep track of database writes and summarizes them on a report page when you click Finish.
- Provide initial selection defaults, and persist changes to the next setup. (For subsequent setups, the previously configured values become the new defaults.)
