Device Prerequisites
Starting with Cisco NDB release 3.8, NDB pushes basic configuration to a newly added switch into NDB. Manual configuration of the NX-API devices to make it ready for NDB is not required. As a part of the adding a new device, the prerequisites are configured by NDB on the devices.
You need to ensure that NX-API is enabled on the new device for NDB to push prerequisite configuration successfully.
Following configurations are pushed into the new switch by NDB.
-
TCAM configurations based on the device platform
-
MST mode is enabled on the Spanning Tree
-
Basic VLAN Configuration
-
LLDP feature is enabled (only for the centralized mode of NDB)
![]() Note |
Device is rebooted after all the configurations are successfully pushed by NDB. The device reboot is required because of the TCAM configurations. The reboot is supported from NX-OS is 9.2(3) and above |
The Device Prerequisites can be configured when you add or edit a device, or when you add or change profile to device.
