Cisco Discovery Service (CDS) Overviewwww.cisco.com/go/ciscodiscovery • Lightweight pre-sales capability advisory service delivered

through third-party software clients

• Web service-based solution that can enable network discovery tools to provide advanced, presales, Cisco® validated analytics on customer networks

• CDS/360 Portal—A central hub for accessing transactions and reports

• Based on the “Smart Services Connection” platform, it will work similarly to upcoming Cisco Collaborative Services, and will eventually offer data exchange and interoperability

• Does not replace partner vendor (InfoBlox, Netformx, Netexpose, SolarWinds, RISC) reports; supplement with choice, convenience

• Global program

http://www.cisco.com/go/ciscodiscovery


CDS/360 Portal• Accessible through My Cisco® Workspace

• Central home for all Cisco Discovery Service reports– View and customize the older Cisco Discovery Service reports for

end-of-life milestones, security advisories, field notices, and service coverage reports

– It is home to Cisco Discovery Service IPv6, Medianet, EnergyWise™, TrustSec®, Cost Optimization Services, and more

– View all your transactions and navigate to reports and devices

– Report output available in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and PDF

• Based on the “Smart Services Connection” platform, it will work similarly to Cisco Collaborative Services and will eventually offer data exchange and interoperability


CDS Capabilities Overview• Cisco® Discovery Service capabilities and features

available in portal – Inventory—Includes stack devices

– Alerts—EoX, PSIRT, field notice

– Service Coverage (KTN)– Capability advisories—IPv6, Medianet, Cisco EnergyWise™, and TrustSec®

• Automated 360 Executive Summary PowerPoint report

• Transaction-based profiling


Step 1: Partner uses Cisco Discovery Service desktop client to perform network discovery and inventory

Step 2: Cisco Discovery Service enabled tool transfers data over secure WAN connection to Cisco where data is analyzed

Step 3: Analyzed data is returned to Cisco Discovery Service enabled tool, which processes data and produces vendor reports

CDS SmartAdvisor—How It Works





• Resources

Contents



Step 1:CDS Data Collection and Upload • Use Cisco® Discovery Service-enabled assessment tools

to perform discovery, upload, and processingUse your existing tool documentation and support resources

• Tip: Enable email notifications in desktop app for data-ready alert• Collectors—Third-party support to “fit” into partners’ workflow

– Netformx – SolarWinds – NeteXpose – RISC Networks – InfoBlox

• Best Practices:– Telnet and SSH must be configured on discovery– SNMP-based collection alone is not recommended

• Collectors provide:– SNMP data– Command line interface data (especially important for SN validation) – Device configuration for advanced product advisories


Step 2:Access My Cisco• Open a supported web browser

(Mozilla, Chrome, Safari, etc.)

• Go to www.cisco.com

• Click the Partners menu

• Click My Cisco

• Log in with your cisco.comusername and password (partner-level access isrequired)

http://www.cisco.com/


Step 3:Add Smart Services Connection • Click Add Modules

• Locate Smart Services Connectionmodule and click Add to My Cisco

• Scroll to top of page andclick See Workspace to return to My Cisco® Workspace


Step 4: Launch CDS/360 Portal

Click Start Smart Services Connection

Click CDS/360 A summary of your transactionswill be displayed


Transaction Summary List• Single-line display of each of your transactions showing:

– Transaction ID, date, user ID, user company, customer, status, theater, and market segment– Date (if any) that Medianet, Cisco® Optimization Services, IPv6,

and contract reports were generated– Number of devices uploaded and number processed
