Push Latitude and Longitude coordinates to cBR-8 routers |
Cisco Smart PHY, Release 23.3 |
You can push latitude and longitude coordinates to all cBR-8 devices running Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.12.1w or later, during RPD provisioning (for Principal and Aux Cores). |
The Inventory page helps you manage, monitor, and organize Remote PHY and CCAP Core inventory. You can quickly view inventory details such as Device Name, Device IP address, MAC address, Product Type, RPD Software version, Tags, and so on. CCAP can be both managed and unmanaged; Non-Cisco RPDs, if supported by Cisco cBR-8, can also be added in Smart PHY.
Cisco Smart PHY supports 50,000 RPDs on a 3-node cluster. Because the number of RPDs provisioned by the Cisco Smart PHY scales into such huge numbers, we recommend that the Operators work on Cisco Smart PHY programmatically using its REST API.
The Following fields are available in the Inventory page.
