We recently started deploying Cisco's Viptela solution within our SP environment. The installation guide available on their website is one of the worst documented guide I have ever read.
-
No reference diagram or IP scheme to make you understand what is needed in term of network connections between various Viptela controllers.
-
The guide available is at least 2-3 version old. Most of the steps doesn't work or needs additional configuration. Ex. Cluster configuration is wrongly documented. There is no mention of extra intercluster link that should be available between the two vManage servers.
-
Though sequence of the installation in mentioned, its not correct. Mixing of sequence will result in bricking your installation.
-
Certificate installation which is the key part of the controller communication is wrongly documented.
My main problem is that there is no other guide available online to help with the installation. Our Cisco SE doesn't have much knowledge on Viptela either. He is trying his best to scramble individual documents from their internal SMEs but its taking way to long.
