Configure a Cisco ThousandEyes enterprise agent using a configuration group

Device Specific (indicated by a host icon)

Use a device-specific value for the parameter. For device-specific parameters, you cannot enter a value in the feature template. You enter the value when you attach a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN device to a device template.

When you click Device Specific, the Enter Key box opens. This box displays a key, which is a unique string that identifies the parameter in a CSV file that you create. This file is an Excel spreadsheet that contains one column for each key. The header row contains the key names (one key per column), and each row after that corresponds to a device and defines the values of the keys for that device. You upload the CSV file when you attach a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN device to a device template.

To change the default key, type a new string and move the cursor out of the Enter Key box.

Examples of device-specific parameters are system IP address, host name, GPS location, and site ID.

Global (indicated by a globe icon)

Enter a value for the parameter and apply that value to all devices.

Examples of parameters that you might apply globally to a group of devices are DNS server, syslog server, and interface MTUs.

Type

Choose a feature from the drop-down list.

Feature Name

Enter a name for the feature.

Description

Enter a description of the feature. The description can contain any characters and spaces.

Account Group Token

Enter the Cisco ThousandEyes Account Group Token.

VPN

Service VPN. The Global or the Device Specific setting indicates service VPN.

When you set the VPN configuration as a Global or a Device Specific setting, enter the ID of the service VPN in which you want to provision the Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise agent.

Management IP

Enter an IP address for the Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise agent. This field is available only when you specify the service VPN.

Management Subnet

Choose a subnet mask from the drop-down list for the Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise agent. This field is available only when you specify the service VPN.

Note

This IP-prefix address (Management IP and Management Subnet) must be unique within the fabric and must not overlap with the IP addresses of other branch agents.

Agent Default Gateway

Enter a default gateway address. This IP address is assigned to the virtual port group of the router. This field is available only when you specify the service VPN.

Name Server IP

Enter the IP address of your preferred DNS server.

This server can exist within or outside the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN fabric but must be reachable from the service VPN.

Host Name

Enter the hostname that the agent must use when registering with the Cisco ThousandEyes portal. By default, the agent uses the hostname of the Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN device.

Proxy Type

If the Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise agent must use proxy server for external access, choose one of these as proxy type:

• static

• PAC

• none

Static proxy settings:

• Proxy Host: Set the configuration as a Global setting and enter the hostname of the proxy server.

• Proxy Port: Set the configuration as a Global setting and enter the port number of the proxy server.

PAC settings:

• PAC URL: Set the configuration as a Global setting and enter the URL of the proxy auto-configuration (PAC) file.
