Resolution

When trying to add Cisco DHCP devices in IPAM, the devices being added must support the following:

1. Cisco Commands that need to be supported:

 - ‘show running-config’
 - ‘show ip dhcp pool’
 - ‘show ip dhcp binding’

2. The device needs to be a Layer 3 Switch or Router.
3. The IOS must be version 12.2(8)T or later.

Note: Enable level 15 is required to view the complete configuration. This is due to how IOS manages permission levels and configuration information.

For ASA devices, the following commands are needed:

-show version
-show dhcpd binding
-show running-config dhcpd
-show dhcpd statistics
-show interface l inc Interface laddress
-enable level set to enable
