Overview

Deploying Infra Configuration test short desc

This section describes how to deploy the Infra configuration to each APIC site.

Procedure

1.

In the top right of the main pane, click Deploy and choose the appropriate option to deploy the configuration.

If you have configured only on-premises or only cloud sites, simply click Deploy to deploy the Infra configuration.

However, if you have both, on-premises and cloud site, the following additional options may be available:

  • Deploy & Download IPN Device Config files: Pushes the configuration to both the on-premises APIC site and the Cloud Network Controller site and enables the end-to-end interconnect between the on-premises and the cloud sites.

    In addition, this option downloads a zip file that contains configuration information that you will use to enable connectivity from the IPN devices to Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR). A followup screen appears that allows you to select all or some of the configuration files to download.

  • Deploy & Download External Device Config files: Pushes the configuration to both the Cloud Network Controller sites and enables the end-to-end interconnect between the cloud sites and external devices.

    In addition, this option downloads a zip file that contains configuration information that you will use to enable connectivity from external devices to the Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR) deployed in your cloud sites. A followup screen appears that allows you to select all or some of the configuration files to download.

  • Download IPN Device Config files only: Downloads a zip file that contains configuration information that you will use to enable connectivity from the IPN devices to Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR) without deploying the configuration.

  • Download External Device Config files only: Downloads a zip file that contains configuration information that you will use to enable connectivity from external devices to Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR) without deploying the configuration.

2.

In the confirmation window, click Yes.

The Deployment started, refer to left menu for individual site deployment status message will indicate that Infra configuration deployment began and you can verify each site's progress by the icon displayed next to the site's name in the left pane.

What to do next

The Infra overlay and underlay configuration settings are now deployed to all sites' controllers and cloud CSRs. The last remaining step is to configure your IPN devices with the tunnels for cloud CSRs as descrbied in Refreshing Site Connectivity Information.
