Quick Start Guide for Onboarding IE Switches to Cisco Secure Equipment Access

Create a device profile and add an IE switch to the Application Manager service

Create a device profile

The device profile contains common settings such as user credentials. You can create a profile with the username and password credentials and link the profile to all devices that share these credentials. For more information, see device profile.

In the Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard, navigate to Application Manager service.
Go to Device Profiles and click the Create Device Profile link. The Create Device Profile page appears.
On the page, provide a name and description, and click Next.
Under Configure credentials, provide a user name and password for the device profile configuration.
Click Next. The created profile appears for your review.
On confirmation, click Create Device Profile. The created device profile is listed under Device Profiles.

Add and IE switch to App Manager service

After you create a device profile, you’re good to add an IE switch to the Application Manager service.

In the Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard, navigate to Application Manager service.
Click Devices > Staged tab.
Click Add Devices.
Select Single Device to open the Add Device page.
Click Devices > Staged > Add Devices.
From the Select Add Device Method window, click Single Device.
On the Add Device page, enter the details such as product ID, serial number, and a name.
Use the following command to show the product ID and serial# for your device:

Switch# show license udi

The serial number and product ID can also be found on the identification sticker on the device and on the shipping box the device comes in.
Click Next.
In the Select Device Profile for Assignment screen, choose a device profile from the list and click Next.
Review the Configuration information on the Review screen.
Click Add Device.

You can see that the new device is listed under Staged Devices. This means that this device is added through the application manager but not registered with the IoT OD. The device is also not connected to the Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard yet.
