This chapter contains the following sections:

Starting Cisco Prime Network Registrar

To administer the local and regional clusters that you have installed, you must enter the appropriate license file (web UI) or the filename (CLI).

To enter license information in web UI or CLI:

Procedure

Step 1

Start the Cisco Prime Network Registrar web UI or CLI:

  • To access the web UI, open the web browser and use the HTTP (nonsecure login) or HTTPS (secure login) website: 

    
http://hostname:http-port 

https://hostname:https-port

    where:

    • The hostname is the actual name of the target host.

    • The http-port and the https-ports are the default HTTP or HTTPS port that are specified during installation. (See the installation procedure in the section "Installing Cisco Prime Network Registrar" on page 17).

    On Windows, you can access the web UI from the Start menu from the local host:

    • On a local cluster—Choose Start > Programs > Network Registrar 9.0 > Network Registrar 9.0 local Web UI (or Network Registrar 9.0 local Web UI (secure) if you enabled secure login).

    • On a regional cluster—Choose Start > Programs > Network Registrar 9.0 > Network Registrar 9.0 regional Web UI (or Network Registrar 9.0 regional Web UI (secure) if you enabled secure login).

  • To start the CLI:

    • Windows—Navigate to the install-path\bin directory and enter this command: 

      nrcmd -C cluster-ipaddress -N <username> -P <password>

    • Linux—Navigate to the install-path\usrbin directory and enter this command 

      install-path/usrbin/nrcmd -C clustername -N <username> -P <password>
Step 2

If you did not enter license information during the installation procedure, you must do so now:

Note 

You must add the licenses in the Regional cluster which means the Regional should be installed first. The local cluster has to be registered with the regional cluster at the time of installation or at the time of your first login. You can choose the services (dhcp, dns, cdns) for the local based on the licenses added in the Regional cluster.

  • Web UI-Click Browse to navigate to the license file.

  • CLI—Enter an absolute or relative path for the license filename, as follows: 

    nrcmd> license create filename
Step 3

Enter the username and the password, that was created during the installation procedure.

Starting and Stopping Servers

In Windows, you can stop and start the Cisco Prime Network Registrar server agent from the Services feature of the Windows Control Panel. If the installation completed successfully and you enabled the servers, the Cisco Prime Network Registrar DNS and DHCP servers start automatically each time you reboot the machine.

For the TFTP server, you must use this Cisco Prime Network Registrar CLI command to enable it to restart on bootup: 

nrcmd> tftp enable start-on-reboot

All servers in the cluster are controlled by the Cisco Prime Network Registrar regional or local server agent. You can stop or start the servers by stopping or starting the server agent.

For details on stopping and starting servers, see the Cisco Prime Network Registrar 9.0 Administrator Guide.

Starting and Stopping Servers on Windows

Starting and Stopping Servers on Linux

In Linux, the Cisco Prime Network Registrar servers automatically start up after a successful installation or upgrade. You do not need to reboot the system.


Note
To start and stop Cisco Prime Network Registrar when running as nradmin, you must log into the server as a user in the nradmin group (or root). It is not possible to login as nradmin. 
#/opt/nwreg2/local/bin/cnr_service start

#/opt/nwreg2/local/bin/cnr_service stop

To start and stop servers on Linux:

Procedure

Step 1

Log in as superuser.

Step 2

Start the server agent by running the nwreglocal or nwregregion script with the start argument: 


# /etc/init.d/nwreglocal start ;for the local cluster

# /etc/init.d/nwregregion start ;for the regional cluster
Step 3

Enter the cnr_status command to check that the servers are running: 

# install-path/usrbin/cnr_status
Step 4

Stop the server agent by running the nwreglocal or nwregregion script with the stop argument: 


# /etc/init.d/nwreglocal stop ;for the local cluster

# /etc/init.d/nwregregion stop ;for the regional cluster

Starting or Stopping Servers using the Local Web UI

To start or stop servers in the local Web UI:

Procedure

Step 1

From Operate menu, choose Manage Servers to open the Manage Servers page.

Step 2

To start or stop the DHCP, DNS, CDNS, TFTP, or SNMP servers, select the server in the Manage Servers pane and do any of the following

Procedure

Step 1

From Operate menu, choose Manage Servers to open the Manage Servers page.

Step 2

To start or stop the BYOD or SNMP servers, select the server in the Manage Servers pane and do any of the following

Note

  • Click the Start Server button to start the server.
  • Click the Stop Server button stop the server.
Step 3
