Set Up Locations and Maps

Locations and Maps

The Locations and Maps feature in Cisco Spaces helps to import, normalize and unify network hierarchies from various sources such as Cisco Meraki, Catalyst Center, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure into a single business orientated hierarchy. Use this feature as a platform to standardize the network hierarchy structure and provide a standardized location hierarchy view.

Apart from the traditional way of creating location hierarchy by importing/syncing from network sources, this new feature includes a new option to create a business centric hierarchy from a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file. The Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file import allows to perform bulk add/update of the metadata information for multiple locations.

While Cisco Spaces creates a logical location hierarchy matching the network hierarchy, most Cisco Spaces users have one more source where the hierarchy/names differ because of the taxonomy, or because they are managed by different teams/people. With the Locations and Maps feature, you can create a business orientated hierarchy, merge/unify hierarchies from different network sources into the business hierarchy making it a clean unified hierarchy thereby helping in managing various outcomes.

You can import your business locations and organize them within Cisco Spaces based on the physical business locations and network deployments. You can also organize the hierarchy based on specific brands, regions, campuses, and other taxonomies relevant for the business.

The Locations and Maps feature in Cisco Spaces helps to translate your IT network view into a business view and present a cleaner business relevant insights report. Any changes to your network topology are automatically reflected in Cisco Spaces making it easy to manage.

The Locations and Maps window has the following tabs:

  • Locations: Use this tab to add business locations to Location Hierarchy.

  • Network Maps: Use this tab to add Network Maps.

  • Digital Maps: Use this tab to add Digital Maps.

Step 3

Use the options available in the Action drop-down list and select a recommended action to merge each level in the source location hierarchy with a relevant destination business hierarchy level in the right column.

By default, Cisco Spaces recommends some actions for reviewing the imported location hierarchy. The available actions are: Merge with, Accept, Create New and Delete.

  • The action that you opt for the highest node in the source location hierarchy is automatically cascaded over to the subsequent nodes.

  • You cannot delete a campus node from the source location hierarchy if the levels under the campus node are already merged with any relevant destination business hierarchy level.

  • You cannot merge a building from the source location hierarchy to a campus in the destination business hierarchy.

  • You can merge a site from the source location hierarchy to a campus in the destination business hierarchy.
