Overview
Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Services, on page 1
Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Services
Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Services is a platform service within Cisco DNA Spaces that enables you to claim,
manage, and monitor Internet of Things (IoT) devices using Cisco's wireless infrastructure. IoT Services is
designed to enable management of Internet of Things (IoT) devices across vendors, form factors, and technology
protocols. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is the first technology available for management using Internet of
Things (IoT) services.
IoT Services encompasses hardware, software, and partner components to enable the management of devices
that support critical business outcomes. IoT Services utilizes Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers,
Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector, Cisco WiFi6 access points, and Cisco DNA Spaces. IoT Services is a
next-generation approach to managing complexity in an enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) environment.
Using IoT Services, you can perform the following management activities:
Deploy BLE gateways on supported APs in your network.
Claim BLE beacons that you acquired from Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Device Marketplace.
Configure APs and manage floor beacons.
You can monitor device attributes such as location, telemetry, battery status, and movement status.
Components of Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Services
The section describes various components that work to complete the Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Services solution.
The Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series Access Points acts as a gateway of communication between Cisco DNA
Spaces and the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Services can then use a range of
common APIs to communicate with edge devices and apps. The Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Services collects
data from devices and apps, and passes it to Cisco-partnered Device Manager websites. The Device Manager
websites can leverage these edge-device signals and make the outcome specialized and targeted for each
industry.

Access Points
You can configure access points as gateways in this solution. You can find the list of supported APs in the
Compatibility Matrix section.
Depending on the type of Cisco access points (AP), you can configure an AP as one of the following types
of BLE gateways.
Base BLE Gateway: The Base BLE gateway is a type of AP that you can configure in one of two modes.
Either the AP as a Beacon mode or the Scan mode.
In the AP as a Beacon mode, the AP can broadcast iBeacon, Eddystone URL, and Eddystone UID
profiles.
In the Scan mode, the AP can scan the vicinity for other BLE devices. Using gRPC on the AP, the AP
sends the scanned data to Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector. The AP can also receive telemetry data from
floor beacons. The Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector dashboard decodes and displays this information.

Prerequisites
Access Points
AdvancedBLEGateway:The Advanced BLE gateway is an AP that is installed with an IOX Application.
Using the installed IOX application, you can configure floor beacons on the Cisco-partnered Cisco DNA
Spaces: Connector website.
You can only configure this AP in the Scan mode.
In the Scan mode, the AP can scan the vicinity for other BLE devices. Using gRPC on the AP, the AP
sends the scanned data to Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector. The AP can also receive telemetry data from
floor beacons. The Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector dashboard decodes and displays this information.
Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers
The Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller (controller) combines RF excellence with IOS-XE benefits
and it comes in physical or virtual form factor. This controller is reliable and highly secure. You can manage
this controller using CLI, Web UI, NETCONF, Yang, or the Cisco DNA Center.
The controller is the single point for configuring and managing a wireless network and access points. The
controller configures and manages APs using the CAPWAP protocol.
The controller receives BLE configuration from Cisco DNA Spaces over NETCONF and passes the
configuration to AP over CAPWAP. The feedback path from the AP to the wireless controller is through
CAPWAP and from the controller to Cisco DNA Spaces through TDL telemetry streaming. The gRPC
configuration from Cisco DNA Spaces also goes through the controller and from there to the access point.
The configuration sets up the gRPC channel between the AP and Cisco DNA Spaces. The AP sends gRPC
channel statistics to the controller where you can view the statistics.
You can have only one gRPC session between an AP and the Connector.
Cisco Catalyst 9800 devices running the IOS-XE image version 17.3.2 now supports the IoT Services
along with the Network Assurance solution on Cisco DNA Center.
However, IoT Services and Intellegent Capture (iCAP) feature is still mutually exclusive. That is, if
iCAP feature needs to be enabled on the device, then IoT Services cannot be deployed. Similarly, if IoT
Services needs to be enabled on the device, then iCAP feature cannot be deployed.
Depending on your release, you must disable features on the controller. Refer to Disable Assurance with
iCAP using Web UI (Versions 17.3.1 or lower) or Disable iCAP using WEBUI (Versions 17.3.2 or
higher).
Note
Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Device Marketplace
Cisco DNA Spaces: IoT Device Marketplace is a platform where you can discover, research, and purchase
Internet of Things (IoT) devices. IoT Device Marketplace is a part of the Cisco DNA Spaces full-stack partner
ecosystem. Each device is preconfigured to give the customer an out-of-the-box experience with sensors, tags,
wearables, and more. All devices are compatible with applications in the App Center. Current devices in the
IoT Device Marketplace leverage BLE to transmit telemetry, with plans to add other technology in the future
such as Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and Zigbee.
Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector
Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector allows Cisco DNA Spaces to communicate with more than one Cisco Wireless
Controller (controller).

Prerequisites
Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers
Access points connect to the Connector using the gRPC framework.
The APs establish a connection to the Connector using the gRPC protocol. gRPC protocol configures floor
beacons and receive telemetry data from the floor beacons. gRPC is a bi-directional streaming service, and
requires a certificate to validate the host connection and a token for authentication. Each AP creates a gRPC
connection. The Connector can thus support many simultaneous connections.
