What is Cisco DNA
Center?
Cisco DNA Center: Design, Policy, Provision, Assurance
A better way to manage your network
Logical workflow to design, Monitor end-to-end Pinpoint problems faster Manage hardware and
provision, set policy network performance Reduce downtime with an software lifecycles
Respond to changes faster Predict and act on problems end-to-end view instead of Keep up to date, meet
before they happen hop by hop compliance and plan for refresh
Cisco DNA Center: Design,

provision, automate policy and
DN2-HW-APL assure services from one place

Use Case #1 - Network

Use Case #2 - SWIM
Use Case #5: Managing Software Lifecycle
Use Case:
• Ensure Consistency of
Software for all network
devices (by platform type)
• React to PSIRT and bugs fast
• Deploy software with
confidence
Benefits:
• Golden Image based workflows
drive software consistency
• Pre/Post check ensures that
software updates do not have
adverse effects on the network
• Patching provides small
updates to react quickly to
security fixes

Cisco DNA Center Software Image Update

But wait! Doesn’t PI have Image Management?
Use Case #2 - SWIM
Demo
Software Upgrade Workflow: Recommended
Images
Recommended Images:
• Cisco DNA Center can display the Cisco-recommended software
images for the devices that it manages (by device type).
• Cisco Credentials are required
• If the recommended Golden Image is selected as Golden, Cisco DNA
Center automatically uploads from cisco.com.
Software Upgrade Workflow: Image Repository
When are images uploaded into the Image Repository:

• Images can be uploaded directly from the device, from cisco.com (using the Recommended Images functionality) and
via manual upload.
• When using manual upload, image is uploaded into the image repository automatically
• Images from devices and recommended images are only uploaded into the image repository when they are marked
Golden
Software Upgrade – Integrity Verification
End User Deployment Cisco Development Cycle
Network Integrity Known Good Value Network Device

CCO
Devices Verification Collection Development
Software Is the software used by the device authentic? Includes checks of the
software files (Known Good Value) and in-memory (Imprint Value) contents. Also
includes shell access attempts (Event Occurrence)
• To provide a level of security integrity devices must run authentic and valid software
• Cisco DNA Center Integrity Verification uses a system to compare collected image
integrity data to Known Good Values (KGV) for Cisco software.
• Cisco produces and publishes a KGV Data file that contains KGV’s for many of its
products.
• The MD5 or SHA values of the images are validated against KGV’s.
• KGV file:
• Standard JSON format and Signed by Cisco
• Can be retrieved from Cisco and uploaded into Cisco DNA Center
SMU (Software Maintenance Update)
What is SMU ?
 Point Fixes for the IOS-XE images (16.x onwards)

 Provides the ability to just update what is needed
Why SMU ?

Cisco DNA Center Assurance and “Issues”
• The focus is on highlighting an issue rather than monitoring data.
• Quite frequently, Cisco DNA Center Assurance performs the work of a
Level 3 support engineer.
• For a large number of issues, Cisco DNA Center Assurance provides a
system-guided approach
• Multiple Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are correlated, and the results from
tests and sensors are used to determine the root cause of the problem
• Possible actions are provided to resolve the problem.
