Configure the Cisco RADKit service in Cisco SD-WAN Manager to activate remote automation, operation, and troubleshooting capabilities for network equipment.

Enabling Cisco RADKit service in Cisco SD-WAN Manager allows you to activate its capabilities for remote automation, operation, and troubleshooting of network equipment directly from Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

This section provides the steps to enable Cisco RADKit service in Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

Before you begin

  • To make API requests that modify system settings, such as enabling or disabling the RADKit service, you must have administrative privileges to access Cisco SD-WAN Manager API interface (https://<sd-WAN-manager-IP>/apidocs).

  • Ensure proper internet and DNS connectivity for the Cisco RADKit service to function correctly.

Procedure

  1. Open your web browser and navigate to the Cisco SD-WAN Manager API documentation by entering the URL: https://<sd-WAN-manager-IP>/apidocs (replace <sd-WAN-manager-IP> with the actual IP address of your Cisco SD-WAN Manager instance).

  2. Within the API documentation, look for the API endpoint related to container services or specifically for RADKit, for example, /dataservice/settings/configuration/<type> where type is radkit.

  3. Make a POST request to this endpoint.

    You will find an option to make a POST request to this endpoint.

  4. In the request body, provide the following JSON payload:

    {"mode": "enabled"}

  5. Click Execute.

Once the API call is successfully executed, the RADKit service is enabled, and it will begin its initialization and setup process.

What to do next

Confirm that the RADKit container is running and healthy. You can do this by using the CLI command request nms container-manager diagnostics .

To disable the service, POST an API request to the RADKit service endpoint in Cisco SD-WAN Manager with a JSON payload of {"mode": "disabled"} .
