Check the Enables automatic synchronization of data integrated with Cisco DNA Center check box to automatically synchronize any updates to the set of migrated Groups, Devices and CMX from Cisco Prime Infrastructure
to Cisco DNA Center.
-
Select the Include newly added data during dynamic synchronization check box to automatically migrate any new addition to the set of migrated Groups, Devices and CMX from Cisco Prime Infrastructure
to Cisco DNA Center.
Note
|
Dynamic Synchronization does not support add, update or delete operations for the already migrated data and will not synchronize
the data automatically for the following components:
-
Maps
-
CLI Templates
-
ISE Server
Maps, CLI templates, and ISE server migration is achieved only by Force Sync.
-
This check box is enabled only if you select the Enables automatic synchronization of data integrated with Cisco DNA Center check box.
-
During force synchronization, if the Enables automatic synchronization of data integrated with Cisco DNA Center check box is enabled, any modifications that are made through force synchronization to the Location Group and Devices entities
are dynamically synced in Cisco DNA Center.
-
If the Enables automatic synchronization of data integrated with Cisco DNA Center check box is selected, CMX is dynamically assigned to Cisco DNA Center floor groups, when Cisco Prime Infrastructure imports
maps to CMX.
|
-
If you select the Enable CMX settings check box, CMX will be pushed with floor groups. If you do not select the Enable CMX settings check box, CMX data will not be pushed to the Cisco DNA Center server.
-
If you select the Enable ISE settings check box, ISE server details will be pushed. If you do not select the Enable ISE settings check box, ISE data will not be pushed to the Cisco DNA Center server.
-
Select the Migrate User Defined CLI Templates check box to migrate the user-defined CLI and/or Composite Templates to Cisco DNA Center.

-
If you want to delete only the mapping from Prime data migration to Cisco DNA Center and retain the instances of migrated
sites in the DNA Center for the current force sync, uncheck the Delete sites in Cisco DNA Center for the current Force Sync check box.
-
Check the Delete sites in Cisco DNA Center for the current Force Sync check box to delete the sites from Cisco DNA Center and remove the mapping from prime data migration to Cisco DNA Center
for the current force sync.
Uncheck the Delete sites in Cisco DNA Center for the current Force Sync check box to remove the mapping from Prime Data Migration Tool to Cisco DNA Center for the current force sync
-
If you want to move an entire group hierarchy to Cisco DNA Center, check the Replicate Parent Hierarchy check box and select the location groups in the Prime Infrastructure Location Groups pane.
By default, when you select Site Groups, the buildings, floors, and associated maps are also selected.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure does not migrate devices assigned in a "Campus" to the Cisco DNA Center, when the co-existence
tool is used.
As a workaround, you can assign your devices to a "Building" or "Floor" type location group before using the co-existence
tool.
|
Note
|
Devices assigned in the Location groups with 'Default' Group type are not migrated to Cisco DNA Center.
