¶ Introduction
Wyebot supports integration with data from Cisco Catalyst Center's API. This article will walk you through the process of getting it configured. Wyebot will use this access to display client hostnames on the WIP dashboard.
¶ FAQs
¶ What information will Wyebot obtain from Cisco Catalyst Center?
Wyebot will query for the client names of detected clients from Catalyst Center to assist in coorelating data between the two systems.
¶ How does the API query work?
Our system will periodically send an API query for the MAC address of detected clients. The Catalyst Center API will respond with the hostname of these clients, which we will populate on the Wyebot dashboard. Client names that were previously discovered will be occasionaly re-checked in the rare case a hostname changes.
¶ Adding credentials to Wyebot dashboard
-
Login to the Wyebot dashboard. Navigate to Management > API.
-
Click on Enter an External API Credentials.
- In the pop-up window, select vendor as Cisco Catalyst Center. Enter in the credentials for the API user. Paste in the URL of your Cisco DNA Center URL. Optionally, add any notes. Click Save.
The Catalyst Center URL must either be publicly available, or you need to allow API requests from the relevent Wyebot cloud instance. To find which Wyebot cloud instance you are using, check the URL of your web browser when logged into the WIP dashboard. The IPs are as follows - cloud.wyebot.com: 52.5.41.118, wip.wyebot.com: 54.203.200.93, eurocloud.wyebot.com: 3.69.35.49, eu-cloud.wyebot.com: 3.69.35.49.
- Once Wyebot has made its first query, you will see the Key Status change from Not Yet Run to Success.
¶ Validating API functionality
To validate that the Cisco Catalyst Center integration is working, you can check to see if client names are populating under Management > Client names. Once enough time has passed, you should see a list of client names in the table shown below.
