Lab Overview

GOLD—Global Online Lab Delivery The GOLD team provides leading edge "scalable" automation and state-of-the-art remote hands-on labs to enhance your technical knowledge. GOLDLabs is the automation available in many areas including the SEVT Labs, GSES and Remote Demonstrations that can be leveraged by both our internal Cisco users via CEC or by our partner community via the PEC. GOLD facilitates either self-service or instructor-led remote hands-on training programs allowing you to avoid the hassle and expense of air travel and worry over lab gear being damaged from shipping. GOLDLabs are hosted in a centrally located datacenter, and our gear is always refreshed and reconfigured for the next student. Advance your technical hands-on knowledge anytime, anywhere.

There Are Three Smart Care Labs Available Training Lab The Training Lab allows you to perform all the Smart Care Services, and also includes downloading the latest software and installing and registering the client. The Training Lab does NOT have a Smart Care client installed on the host. The client will need to be installed / registered with the Training customer.

Demo Lab The Demo Lab already has the Smart Care client installed and ready to perform Discovery on the Demonstration customer, thus saving you time and allowing you to demonstrate the Smart Care Services relevant to your customers’ needs. Intended for a technical audience.

Fast Demo Lab The Fast Demo Lab already has the Smart Care client installed and Discovery and Inventory services have already been run on the Fast Demo customer, thus saving you time and allowing you to demonstrate the Smart Care Services and reporting relevant to your customers’ needs. Intended for all audiences. Note

Please use only the customers indicated in the lab to run Smart Care services. DO NOT register the Smart Care client to any real partner account outside the Lab or any Partner created in the lab as part of an exercise. Failure to follow the Lab directions (this document), can cause the Lab to fail and become unusable.

HANDS-ON PRACTICE 4: Running the Discovery and Inventory Services Discovery is the process of identifying hardware located on a network. All Cisco devices must be discovered by Smart Care in order for the network to be properly covered by the Smart Care Service. You must manually enter Cisco devices that are not discovered automatically or they will not be covered by the Cisco Smart Care Service. In these hands-on activities, you will run the Discovery and Inventory Services. To do this, you must have completed the following prerequisite steps:

   

Assigned a Smart Care Network Client or Appliance to a customer site in Smart Care. Obtained the IP addresses, IP range(s), or subnet on which you will search for devices. Obtained the device credentials required to log in and inventory each device. Completed loading and installing the software Client in Hands-On Practice 3.

Estimated time to complete the activities: 30 minutes

Learning Objective After completing this hands-on activity, you will be able to: •

Connect to a customer network and run the Discovery and Inventory Services



View the Inventory for your customer

Activity 4-1: Connecting to a Customer Network and Running the Discovery Service Step 1.

From the Smart Care Control Panel navigation pane, choose CISCO_TRAININGxx > Administration > Services. The customer’s Services window displays. If the services are dimmed, you may not have a Client or Appliance assigned and enabled for this customer site. Note

For this lab, you have access to all Cisco Smart Care Services. Normally you will only have access to the Basic Services (Discovery and Inventory) for a new customer until you have purchased a contract.

Cisco Smart Care Service – Training Lab Activity Guide

Figure 4-1: Available Services for a Given Customer Step 2.

Click the Run Now… button for the Basic Services > Discovery (Partner Initiated). You can define a network by its subnet, by a range of IP addresses.

Figure 4-2: Define the Network to be Discovered Step 3.

From the Discovery Type drop-down list, choose Medium. Note

The characteristics of each customer network present challenges to a discovery engine. Some networks contain a large number of devices but are centrally located, while other networks consist of a small number of devices spread over a wide area with a number of WAN links and VLAN connections. Simple networks tend to respond quickly to SNMP gets and pings so discovering these devices requires a minimal number of retries and short timeout values. Complex and widely distributed networks require more time for SNMP and ping responses to be successful in discovering these network devices. .

Step 4.

From the next field, choose a method for identifying the type of device probing you would prefer from the drop-down list. For Training purposes choose IP range. Note

Under normal circumstances Cisco recommends that you specify an IP Range to ensure that moves, adds, and deletes are identified correctly.

For this lab, IP Address and ranges can be found on the “ADDRESSING” tab in the lab environment. You can also find the ranges in Step 5.

Figure 4-3: GOLDLabs Addressing Tab Step 5.

Enter the following Start IP Address and End IP Address for the ranges in this lab exercise. 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.1.254 (Click the Add button to continue) 192.168.90.200 – 192.168.90.201 (Click the Add button to continue)

Step 6.

Enter ‘cisco’ for the SNMP Community. Click the Add button to continue. Note

If you forgot to click the Add button – it will continue with the discovery but won’t find any items with an SNMP Community. You need to go back and add the SNMP community and then run the discovery process again.
