Trigger CD Pipeline

Trigger CD Pipeline

Step 1 - Navigate to the Merge Request

The merge request pipeline has already validated and deployed the NaC model on fabric-stage. Now merge the request so the CD path deploys the same model to fabric-prod.

To open the merge request page:

  1. Hover over Code on side menu
  2. Click Merge Requests
    Open Merge Requests from the side menu
  3. Then click the PR link we just created: initial NaC setup
    Select the initial NaC setup merge request


Step 2 - Merge the Request

On Merge Request details page:

  1. Click Merge
    Merge the validated request
  2. Once code is merged, a new CD pipeline is triggered, click Pipeline
    Open the newly triggered CD pipeline

Step 3 - Wait till pipeline is finished

Review the production CD pipeline jobs

Step 4 - Verify on ND

In your browser, open another instance of the browser or another tab. Copy the url of Nexus Dashboard:

  • ND URL: https://10.15.0.11/appcenter/cisco/ndfc/ui/lan-fabric/fabrics
  • Username: admin
  • Password: cisco.123

Check fabric-prod

This time open the fabric page and check fabric-prod, NOT fabric-stage. Remember the CD pipeline pushes changes to the production fabric.

Open fabric page and open fabric-prod, and verify the NaC-managed VRFs and Networks are provisioned:

Verify the production VRFs in ND
Verify the production Networks in ND
