-
Check the Enables automatic synchronization of data integrated with Cisco Catalyst Center check box to automatically synchronize any updates to the set of migrated Groups, Devices and CMX from Cisco Prime Infrastructure
to Cisco Catalyst 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 Catalyst 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 Catalyst Center check box.
-
During force synchronization, if the Enables automatic synchronization of data integrated with Cisco Catalyst 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 Catalyst Center.
-
If the Enables automatic synchronization of data integrated with Cisco Catalyst Center check box is selected, CMX is dynamically assigned to Cisco Catalyst 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 Catalyst 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 Catalyst Center server.
-
Select the Migrate User Defined CLI Templates check box to migrate the user-defined CLI and/or Composite Templates to Cisco Catalyst Center.
-

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