The PnP Agent forwards the corresponding response from the PnP server to the SMI Proxy for further processing.
#No vstack command cisco install#
PnP Agent then forwards these requests to the PnP Server on behalf of the smart install client. How SMI Proxy Interacts with Smart Install Devices and the PnP AgentĪfter accepting different requests from various smart install clients, SMI Proxy provides all the mandatory information to the PnP Agent for each request. SMI Proxy and Tailored Configuration Files.How SMI Proxy Interacts with Smart Install Devices and the PnP Agent.The SMI Proxy device will contact the central PnP Server on behalf of the device running older versions to retrieve image and configuration information.Ĭisco IOS XE 3.6.3E and Cisco IOS 15.2(3)E3īeginning with this release, the Catalyst 4500, Catalyst 3850, Catalyst 3750, Catalyst 3650, and Catalyst 3560 support PnP discovery process via various discovery mechanisms and security methods. It will "proxy" as the PNP Agent for devices running older versions, enabling these devices to behave as if the SMI Proxy device is the SMI Director. This device will bridge the communication from older devices running SmartInstall to the PNP Server. The SMI Proxy feature will run on a network device that is running the required Cisco IOS release and is configured for PNP Agent and SMI Proxy. SMI Proxy is applicable only to platforms that support SMI Director.
#No vstack command cisco upgrade#
This feature leverages SMI functionality in an existing network device and allows for image and configuration upgrade of devices running older versions. These devices require a migration path to reach the PNP Server.Ĭisco IOS XE 3.6.3E and Cisco IOS 15.2(2)E3Ĭisco IOS XE 3.7.3E and Cisco IOS 15.2(3)E3īeginning with the specified releases, the Catalyst 4500, Catalyst 3850, Catalyst 3750, Catalyst 3650, and Catalyst 3560 switches support SMI PnP Proxy. Devices running the older release cannot communicate with the central PNP Server. The PnP Agent is available on Catalyst 4500 series, Catalyst 3850, Catalyst 3650, IE 2000, IE 3000, IE 3010, Catalyst 2K and Catalyst 3K switches.ĭevices running older releases (prior to Cisco IOS-XE 3.6.0E, and IOS 15.2(2)E) rely on existing ZTD solutions such as SmartInstall to enable IOS version updates.
Table 4-1 Feature History Information for SMI Proxy Cisco's solution toward ZTD, Plug and Play (PnP) provides an agent that runs on each networking device and a server that manages your network devices with respect to configuration, image, and more. Prior to Cisco IOS XE 3.6.0E releases, Smart Install was the routine way to manage zero-touch deployments (ZTD) for Catalyst devices.
