Learn how to activate Cisco Optical Site Manager after completing configuration in standalone or high availability mode, verify activation status, and confirm required parameter consistency before enabling the application and accessing the GUI.
After configuration is complete, activate Cisco Optical Site Manager to enable the application.
After configuring Cisco Optical Site Manager in standalone or high availability mode, including setting management interfaces, user credentials, and optional features like auto-onboarding, the application remains inactive until explicitly activated.
Cisco Optical Site Manager activation takes about 11 minutes on the NCS 1001 and about eight minutes on the NCS 1004 to initialize.
The configuration of interfaces used by Cisco Optical Site Manager should not be changed after activation.

Before Release 24.3.1, use the MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/1 interface for auto-onboarding of subtended devices. The interface uses IP addresses 192.168.1.1/30 and 192.168.1.2/30. From Release 26.1.1, this requirement does not apply.
-
Before Release 26.1.1, ensure that static routes are added on devices that belong to different subnets or configired as peer devices. For more details, see Configure static routes on peer devices.

Auto onboarding of the NCS 1001 device hosting Cisco Optical Site Manager does not complete because the XR device communicates with the third-party docker through the east-west interface. To onboard a NCS 1001 device, manually add it in Cisco Optical Site Manager using the east-west interface. For more details, see Add a device.
