network topology map Cisco Prime Infrastructure

[toskie9999]

Hi just want to inquire if it is possible to create a network topology map on cisco prime infrastructure's dashboard that will display both wired and wireless devices or do we need another cisco product to accomplish it.

Thanks

It's projected for PI 2.1 but has not reached Customer Commit (CC) status last I heard.

Hi Marvin, the topology service is supported in Prime LMS right?

[AFROJ AHMAD]

Yes Wei , it is supported in Prime LMS ..

[Wei Kwong Ong]

I see.. I never use it before and straight using Prime Infrastructure. And am wondering why Prime Infrastructure does not support topology service which I think is highly useful

[AFROJ AHMAD]

yes , you are right . It is an Important feature which is missing at the moement . As Marvin said "

It's projected for PI 2.1 but has not reached Customer Commit (CC) status last I heard'

Hope we will have it in PI 2.1

Thanks-

At long last, Prime Infrastructure 2.2 was released yesterday (17 December 2014) and now includes the Topology map feature:

"Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides a visual map that allows you to view the physical network topology, including the network devices and the links that connect them. The topology maps have indicators that show the current alarm status of network devices and links. By using the network topology maps, you can easily monitor your network by viewing alarms and viewing the interconnection between the devices." (Link)

I'm migrating a system now and will open a new thread with first impressions.

Hi,

Topology services is not available in PI 2.1. The feature "might be" in PI 2.2, which is targeted to be released by the end of this year (around Nov but it is tentative).

As i highlighted "might be" ,because every release say "future plan" .

Thanks-

Afroz
