Step 1

Log in to the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator GUI.

Step 2

In the Main menu, select Infrastructure > Infra Configuration.

Step 3

In the top right of the main Infra Configuration view, click the Configure Infra button.

Step 4

In the left pane, under Sites, select a specific site.

Step 5

In the main window, click the Refresh button to pull fabric information from the APIC.

Step 6

(Optional) For on-premises sites, in the Confirmation dialog, check the box if you want to remove configuration for decommissioned spine switch nodes.

Step 7

Finally, click Yes to confirm and load the connectivity information.

Step 1

Log in to the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator GUI.

Step 2

In the left navigation menu, select Infrastructure > Infra Configuration.

Step 3

In the main pane, click Configure Infra.

Step 4

In the left pane, under Sites, select a specific on-premises site.

Step 5

Provide the Overlay Configuration.

1. In the right <Site> Settings pane, select the Overlay Configuration tab.

2. In the right <Site> Settings pane, enable the Multi-Site knob.

   This defines whether the overlay connectivity is established between this site and other sites.

3. (Optional) Enable the CloudSec Encryption knob encryption for the site.

   CloudSec Encryption provides inter-site traffic encryption. The "Infrastructure Management" chapter in the Cisco Multi-Site Configuration Guide covers this feature in detail.

4. Specify the Overlay Multicast TEP.

   This address is used for the inter-site L2 BUM and L3 multicast traffic. This IP address is deployed on all spine switches that are part of the same fabric, regardless of whether it is a single pod or Multi-Pod fabric.

   This address should not be taken from the address space of the original fabric's Infra TEP pool or from the 0.x.x.x range.

5. (Optional) From the External Routed Domain dropdown, select the domain you want to use.

   Choose an external router domain that you have created in the Cisco APIC GUI. For more information, see the Cisco APIC Layer 3 Networking Configuration Guide specific to your APIC release.

6. Specify the BGP Autonomous System Number.

7. (Optional) Specify the BGP Password.

8. (Optional) Enable SR-MPLS Connectivity for the site.

   If the site is connected via an MPLS network, enable the SR-MPLS Connectivity knob and provide the Segment Routing global block (SRGB) range.

   The Segment Routing Global Block (SRGB) is the range of label values reserved for Segment Routing (SR) in the Label Switching Database (LSD). These values are assigned as segment identifiers (SIDs) to SR-enabled nodes and have global significance throughout the domain.

   The default range is 16000-23999.

   If you enable MPLS connectivity for the site, you will need to configure additional settings as described in the "Sites Connected via SR-MPLS" chapter of the Cisco Multi-Site Configuration Guide for ACI Fabrics.

Step 6

Provide the Underlay Configuration.

1. In the right <Site> Settings pane, select the Underlay Configuration tab.

2. Select the OSPF Area Type from the dropdown menu.

   The OSPF area type can be one of the following:

   • nssa

   • regular

3. Configure OSPF settings for the site.

   You can either click an existing policy (for example, msc-ospf-policy-default ) to modify it or click +Add Policy to add a new OSPF policy. Then in the Add/Update Policy window, specify the following:

   • In the Policy Name field, enter the policy name.

   • In the Network Type field, choose either broadcast, point-to-point, or unspecified.

     The default is broadcast.

   • In the Priority field, enter the priority number.

     The default is 1.

   • In the Cost of Interface field, enter the cost of interface.

     The default is 0.

   • From the Interface Controls dropdown menu, choose one of the following:

     • advertise-subnet

     • bfd

     • mtu-ignore

     • passive-participation

   • In the Hello Interval (Seconds) field, enter the hello interval in seconds.

     The default is 10.

   • In the Dead Interval (Seconds) field, enter the dead interval in seconds.

     The default is 40.

   • In the Retransmit Interval (Seconds) field, enter the retransmit interval in seconds.

     The default is 5.

   • In the Transmit Delay (Seconds) field, enter the transmit delay in seconds.

     The default is 1.

Step 7

Configure inter-site connectivity between on-premises and cloud sites.

1. Click +Add IPN Device to specify an IPN device.

2. From the dropdown, select one of the IPN devices you defined previously.

   The IPN devices must be already defined in the General Settings > IPN Devices list, as described in Configuring Infra: General Settings

3. Configure inter-site connectivity for cloud sites.

   Any previously configured connectivity from the cloud sites to this on-premises site will be displayed here, but any additional configuration must be done from the cloud site's side as described in Configuring Infra for Cisco Cloud APIC Sites.

Step 1

Log in to the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator GUI.

Step 2

In the Main menu, click Sites.

Step 3

In the Sites view, click Configure Infra.

Step 4

In the left pane, under Sites, select a specific site.

Step 5
