How to prevent radio polling in Cisco DNAC plugin

Products

• Network Observability
• Virtual Network Assurance

Issue/Introduction

We would like to stop polling of radios for the DNAC plugin

Environment

Virtual Network Assurance, all supported versions

Resolution

Edit the following two files

${VNA_INSTALL_DIR}/collector/DNAC_<UUID>/repository/deviceConfig/DNAC-Inventory.xml


${VNA_INSTALL_DIR}/plugins/DNAC Plugin/opencollector/repository/deviceConfig/DNAC-Inventory.xml

Change:

   <Acquisition desc="Radios">
                        <Name>radios</Name>
                        <Poll>Yes</Poll>

To:

 <Acquisition desc="Radios">
                        <Name>radios</Name>
                        <Poll>No</Poll>

This will take effect next poll.

 

 

Additional Information

Note that this would keep radio inventory for existing AP but no additional AP radios would be discovered for future devices until re-enabled.
