Installed Cisco DNAC 1.3.1 today.
For CCIE EW Lab v 1.0 and CCIE EI or etc....
I would like to intergrade DNAC with ISE
Downloaded ISO Image DNAC 1.3.1 and DNAC 2.3.5 and 1.3.3
It was very difficult for me to get a DNA ISO image
I was able to get it with the help of xx... Thank you...
There are 3 versions of DNA that I have
DNAC 1.3.1 (CCIE EW)
DNAC 1.3.3
DNAC 2.3.5
And my lab environment is ESXI 6.7 version
I have a Dell R630 server, which I bought while studying CCIEI
DNAC really needs crazy requirements
Basically, what you need is
CPU - 44 core
Memory - 256GB 최소
Hard - 1TB
I bought a server from a place called ciscoland
If you're interested, please let me know. I'll let you know the site
It's really hard to match this on a regular PC
That's why you need a server, and if you don't have one, you'll have to practice it in a different way
No other way is explained here
anyway,,
The most important thing is to get an ISO file image,
Saving this has been tricky for me... I need to have a Cisco partner account
If you have an account, it will be easy
I've failed about 10 times so far when I got ISO files and installed version 1.3 of DNA
The reason is as follows
GUI access should be possible after installation is completed, as shown below
"no route and no API found with those values"
As the value is printed out, there is a phenomenon that GUI is not accessible
I've done everything, but I haven't fixed it yet.
On the other hand, DNAC 2.3.5 works well
The CCIEW that I'm studying now uses the DNA version 1.3.1
2. I really need the DNAC 1.3.1 version because it shows a completely different interface from the vs version....
I'm feeling a lot of frustration..
I've been troubleshooting other people who've already had similar problems four years ago
It's not being treated easily...

DNAC 2.1 | Cant access GUI getting no route , no api found for this value
Hi Guys Pls find attachment Installation and Deployment completed successfully for DNAC 2.1 , but not able to access GUI getting no route , no api ,even though i can ping the appliance Thanks
community.cisco.com
The specifications I am installing DNAC 1.3 are as follows
I'm installing it using all the resources of the server
I don't think that installation won't happen because I don't have enough resources.
CPU - 80
Memory - 700GB
Hard - 1TB
I'm going to take the first test in June
I'm spending too much time installing this at home wrap
I'm getting a reality check...
I just think I should go all in preparing for the exam..
After taking the test, I think I should take my time
To be honest, I regret that I bought it
I hope other people don't suffer like I do...
Just try one CCIEI, and I think it would be good to sell Palo Alto or Juniper by dipping...
1. The switch also requires a license (vrf, interworking with DNAC)
2. DNAC also needs a license (presumably if you buy a license here, it will be distributed to the switch)
3. I think you need to have an account to buy a license....
(The question of whether ordinary individuals can live and the internal conflict over whether they should go this far is reaching its peak...)
4. After all, I don't know if I can buy a smart license even if I don't have a partner account..
I'm under a lot of stress from experiencing these moments of frustration..
Yesterday, I upgraded the IOS to the same version as the test site on the switch I bought, and brought in the initial configuration
I used TFTP to push and boot the IOS file, and it was my first time doing this, so I had a hard time
On the other hand, Fortinet products used by the company are really easy... It's easy to upgrade firmware... haha...
The more I study, the more I see the strengths and weaknesses of various vendors
And the thought that comes to mind is that I get sick of Cisco... lol
Of course, Fortinet is going to be licensed too....
Anyway, I'm setting up the initial configuration on the switch
VRF-related settings are not going in..
After shoveling for a long time...............
I found the bottom
I realized that I needed a license for the switch and I realized my ignorance
Ao... this guy's home LAB is really not easy..
Do we need to have a home lab vs. prepare for the test quickly
The internal conflict is coming to a head...haha..
CCIEI doesn't have to worry about this. The rap is so good
You can practice everything with a VM
That's why the test is easy...
You need to practice a lot to do well
You're failing the test because you lack practice.......
The most difficult thing about preparing for the CCIE exam is that you can't practice even if you want to
It's like a CCIE test where you're given an environment to practice in the end and you put in your time...
Creating an environment where you can practice can only cost money,
It's really hard because sometimes it's hard to make even if you spend money....
With less than two months to go until the exam, I'm distracted by something else... I'm shoveling a lot
I think I should postpone the exam...
I don't get lucky enough to take a test on Cisco Live because of my personal greed
I'm trying to trick...
I'm going to rap until 10 p.m. every night and sleep, but I think I'm going to die
+ The company is crazy busy... I'm working on a lot of projects at the same time, but when I come to work, I'm really out of my mind
It's been a year since I worked for an American company and I'm really busy...
If I spend a few years here, I think I'll experience growth as a network engineer personally
I'm grateful to be able to experience building a new site from scratch, refresh, RMA, etc.
Of course, I didn't design the site, but the boss manager designed the site,
Senior engineers create a configuration and create a document, and we see it and implement it
Oh... I was going to install DNAC, but the noise was long...
I don't know if I'll succeed today...
The shoveling continues today....
-----------Additional
I hung it up and came back about 5 hours later
The installation is complete, and first, the internet access is through the DNAC
ping 8.8.8.8
And I made sure that all the essential packages were installed
maglev package status
It's hard to see it because it's cut off...
If you look closely, there is one system and all of them are NOT_DEPLOYED
This means that all essential packages are not "DEPOLOY"
I don't know why... I'm not the one who made it, I watched the YouTube installation video and copied it, but it's still like this...
I'm going to install a package that's responsible for GUI
maglev package deploy platform-ui
Doing it like me isn't the answer, it's just recording the process of troubleshooting...
I don't know either, so I stutter and visit...
Something green comes out and it says it's installed?
It feels good?
Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm crying... I've logged on to the GUI! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Wow, you've worked really hard until you see this screen....
Oh, why can't the package be distributed automatically?
I don't know............but I leave an eagle for those who follow me....
Oh! Shh!!!!!!!!!!
You'll see this screen when you first install it and access it
Well, I don't have to change my off-duty. I'll go with SKIP
Oh, this screen looks like it's for a Cisco Smart License
I think it's for this function by logging in an account and linking licenses
Since I don't have an account... I don't know if I can use the account for the CCIE test, but anyway
I have mailed to Cisco (below)
The content is, can an ordinary individual purchase a smart license?
I sent you an e-mail saying that I need help
I want to study CCIEW, so I'm going to buy a license... If there's no way
How can I study? I don't know right now, but I have to break through the block one by one
Oh, I finally installed the DNAC today and even accessed the GUI...
The tearful days of shoveling...
Don't suffer like me, follow the above method and you'll be able to access it
Anyway, I'll skip logging in to my Cisco account as well.
"The CCO ID is a required entry for certain functions such as Software Image Management (SWIM), Telemetry, Licensing, etc. to function properly. Skipping this step will affect the functionality of these components. Select 'OK' to continue."
Steps to establish an interworking with the IP Address Management (IPAM) server in the DNAC.
An IPAM server is a system that automates IP address allocation and management within a network
Since I don't have it, I'll start with SKIP

Steps to enter proxy server information that the DNAC will use to access the Internet.
The DNAC must communicate with Cisco cloud services (for example, Smart Licensing, software updates, Telemetry, and so on), and you must enter this information if you use proxies in your network environment.
The DNAC must be able to connect directly to the Internet, and 443 ports must be open in the firewall to communicate with Cisco cloud services.
I'll start with SKIP
You must agree to Cisco's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy before you begin using the DNAC.
It is a screen that appears essential during the initial setup process, and cannot proceed to the next stage without consent to the terms and conditions.
Let's move on to NEXT...
Finally, ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To show you again, a lot of packages are not installed properly
I don't know why. I haven't found these in a lot of YouTube installations, and I've been reading Cisco documents
I looked through various communities and there was nothing about it....
I'm the first... LOL
GUI access was possible right after installing Platform-ui only
You have to feel how upset you are when you can't do this...
After a few days of hard work
Let's press Go to System 360 and go in!
Ha, it's beautiful... Ah... finally... here...
Since nothing has been installed yet, I think we need to install it while shoveling one by one
And I think the biggest license part will go in the direction of purchasing smart licenses..
The biggest reason for studying DNA is distributing and setting everything to SD-A in the CCIEW exam...
I'm going to chew, tear, taste and enjoy each menu...
There will be a lot of difficulties in the future, but I'll keep fighting...
For your information, I would like to make an objection (below)
It means that the internet is working...
Software Management (this means DNAC is accessible to the Internet to receive updates).
Important notes for installation.
-Make sure the gateway is accessible
-Make sure you have access to DNS
(I made a Windows 2019 DNS-server and set it to 10.1.1.17)
-Make sure you have access to NTP
Make sure you have access to the internet, get the package, and if you are using a proxy, get the proxy details (I use a proxy and it works as expected).
Attached is a Cisco document related to installation (below)
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/cloud-systems-management/network-automation-and-management/catalyst-center/catalyst-center-va/esxi/2-3-7/deployment-guide/b_cisco_catalyst_center_237x_on_esxi_deployment_guide.html
I'll try to update everything
The goal is to make every update you can
Because that won't cause the error....
That's why I grabbed about 1TB of hard
Installation is in progress
As the packages are installed one by one
I could see the menus that didn't exist before coming out one by one
Before installing an existing package (below)
After installing the package (below)
I'm starting to look like a person now
We have a DESIGN menu and POLICY and PROVISION menu, but I think there was another menu...
It's not coming out yet
Expected Menu (below)
We don't have any ASSURANCE or PLATFORM menus yet
I don't think it's coming out yet because the package is less installed..
I checked how much resources they were using
I'm using about 100GB of memory (below)
with no particular errors found
I've installed all 1st package
Do the rest of the installation again (below)
In progress...
55% progress (below)
All installed (below)
