Lab Overview
GOLD—Global Online Lab Delivery
The GOLD team provides leading edge "scalable" automation and state-of-the-art remote hands-on labs to
enhance your technical knowledge. GOLDLabs is the automation available in many areas including the SEVT
Labs, GSES and Remote Demonstrations that can be leveraged by both our internal Cisco users via CEC or by
our partner community via the PEC.
GOLD facilitates either self-service or instructor-led remote hands-on training programs allowing you to avoid the
hassle and expense of air travel and worry over lab gear being damaged from shipping. GOLDLabs are hosted in
a centrally located datacenter, and our gear is always refreshed and reconfigured for the next student.
Advance your technical hands-on knowledge anytime, anywhere.
There Are Three Smart Care Labs Available
Training Lab
The Training Lab allows you to perform all the Smart Care Services, and also includes downloading the latest
software and installing and registering the client. The Training Lab does NOT have a Smart Care client installed
on the host. The client will need to be installed / registered with the Training customer.
Demo Lab
The Demo Lab already has the Smart Care client installed and ready to perform Discovery on the Demonstration
customer, thus saving you time and allowing you to demonstrate the Smart Care Services relevant to your
customers’ needs. Intended for a technical audience.
Fast Demo Lab
The Fast Demo Lab has the Smart Care client installed, and all services run, saving you time and allowing you to
demonstrate the Smart Care Services relevant to your customers’ needs. Intended for all audiences.
Note
Please use only the customers indicated in the lab to run
Smart Care services. DO NOT register the Smart Care
client to any real partner account outside the Lab or any
Partner created in the lab as part of an exercise. Failure to
follow the Lab directions (this document), can cause the
Lab to fail and become unusable.

Getting Started with the Hands-on Lab Activities
This collection of hands-on lab activities is designed to provide step-by-step instructions on the common Cisco
Smart Care Service tasks that you will perform.
The activities are intended to be used in a lab environment, such as a partner test lab, but can also be used as a
guide to performing services in a real-world customer environment. The activities are listed in the order you are
most likely to perform these tasks, beginning with downloading and installing a copy of the Smart Care Network
Client software.
What You Will Need
These activities assume you have access to the Partner Education Connection (PEC) using your CCO ID.
If you do not have a CCO ID – you can apply for one by going to www.cisco.com and registering.

HANDS-ON PRACTICE 1:
Running the Discovery and Inventory Services
Discovery is the process of identifying hardware located on a network.
All Cisco devices must be discovered by Smart Care in order for the network to be properly covered by the Smart
Care Service. You must manually enter Cisco devices that are not discovered automatically or they will not be
covered by the Cisco Smart Care Service.
In these hands-on activities, you will run the Discovery and Inventory Services. To do this, you must have
completed the following prerequisite steps:
Assigned a Smart Care Network Client or Appliance to a customer site in Smart Care
Obtained the IP addresses, IP range(s), or subnet on which you will search for devices
Obtained the device credentials required to log in and inventory each device.
Estimated time to complete the activities: 30 minutes
Learning Objective
After completing this hands-on activity, you will be able to:
•
Connect to a customer network and run the Discovery and Inventory Services
•
View the Inventory for your customer
Activity 1-1: Connecting to a Customer Network and Running the Discovery
Service
Step 1.
From the Smart Care Control Panel navigation pane, choose CISCO LABOPS CUSTOMER-15xx >
Administration > Services. The customer’s Services window displays. If the services are dimmed,
you may not have a Client or Appliance assigned and enabled for this customer site.
Note
For this lab, you have access to all Cisco Smart Care Services. Normally you will
only have access to the Basic Services (Discovery and Inventory) for a new
customer until you have purchased a contract.

Figure 1-1: Available Services for a Given Customer
Step 2.
Click the Run Now… button for the Basic Services > Discovery (Partner Initiated).
You can define a network by its subnet or by a range of IP addresses.
Figure 1-2: Define the Network to be Discovered
Step 3.
From the Discovery Type drop-down list, choose Medium.

Cisco Smart Care Service - Demo Lab Activities
Guide
Note
Step 4.
The characteristics of each customer network present challenges to a discovery
engine. Some networks contain a large number of devices but are centrally located,
while other networks consist of a small number of devices spread over a wide area
with a number of WAN links and VLAN connections. Simple networks tend to
respond quickly to SNMP gets and pings so discovering these devices requires a
minimal number of retries and short timeout values. Complex and widely distributed
networks require more time for SNMP and ping responses to be successful in
discovering these network devices.
From the next field, choose a method for identifying the type of device probing you would prefer from
the drop-down list. For demo purposes choose IP range.
Note
Under normal circumstances Cisco recommends that you specify an IP Range to
ensure that moves, adds, and deletes are identified correctly.
For this lab, IP Address and ranges can be found on the “ADDRESSING” tab in the lab environment.
You can also find the ranges in Step 5.
Figure 1-3: Define the Network to be Discovered
Step 5.
Enter the following Start IP Address and End IP Address for the ranges in this lab exercise.
192.168.0.1 – 192.168.1.254 (Click the Add button to continue)
192.168.90.200 – 192.168.90.201 (Click the Add button to continue)
Step 6.
Enter ‘cisco’ for the SNMP Community. Click the Add button to continue.
Note
If you forgot to click the Add button – it will continue with the discovery but won’t find
any items with an SNMP Community. You need to go back and add the SNMP
community and then run the discovery process again.

software versions, and basic device system parameters such as memory and flash. Information such as user
names, passwords, and configuration files are stored at the customer site, not at Cisco.

HANDS-ON PRACTICE 2:
Running Core Services
The Core Assess and Repair Service scans supported devices and compares the first scan backup configuration
file with the current backup configuration file to identify vulnerabilities and changes that might indicate a virus or
corruption. Many issues can be fixed remotely by using Smart Care Service.
In this hands-on activity, you will run the Core Assess and Repair Service, identify potential issues, apply a fix,
and revert a fix (undo it).
To do this, you must have completed the following prerequisite steps:
Assigned a Smart Care Network Client or Appliance to a customer site in Smart Care.
Completed Discovery and Inventory for the network.
The network must have devices that include potential security vulnerabilities.
Estimated time to complete the activities: 30 minutes
Learning Objective
After completing this hands-on activity, you will be able to:
•
Run the Core Assess & Repair Service and view a consolidated report
•
Identify an error and apply a fix
•
Revert a fix by returning to a previous configuration
