Cisco Aci - Documentation for Bmc Discovery Content Reference

Starting from TKU April 2022 discovery of both physical topology (infrastructure) and logical components of the Cisco ACI solution is supported.

Compatibility

Cisco ACI discovery feature is only supported starting from BMC Discovery 20.02 (12.0).

Prerequisites

• Two types of credentials must be configured in order to pattern work properly:
  • SNMP credentials for all nodes in ACI Fabric – APICs, leaves, and spines.
  • Cisco APIC REST API credentials for APIC nodes. 
    More info about configuring Cisco APIC REST API credentials can be found here.
• All ACI nodes must first be discovered using SNMP.  Once it is done, the Cisco_ACI pattern is able to trigger and build physical topology and discover logical components.
