Configuration Management
BIMS provides a central configuration and management function to facilitate managing and deploying
the CPE configuration files (or segments) and the software. The configuration management portal
integrates:
• Managing configuration templates
The configuration template library provides unified management of configuration files and
segments. You can customize your own, or import configuration files or segments to the
configuration template library to easily manage and deploy CPE configurations.
• Managing CPE software
The software library enables you to import a CPE software from your local client into BIMS to
deploy the software on one or more CPEs. In addition, you can manage CPE software through
querying, modifying, exporting, and deleting functions.
• Deploying CPE configurations and software to CPEs by using Deployment Guide
The Deployment Guide is a wizard that helps you deploy the configuration templates and software
stored in BIMS to the CPEs. You can use it to customize deployment tasks for the CPEs managed by
BIMS. You can also create automatic deployment tasks for virtual CPEs not yet managed by BIMS.
When the virtual CPEs pass the BIMS authentication for the first time, BIMS deploys the
configurations or software to them immediately.
• Managing deployment tasks
BIMS implements CPE configuration deployment and software deployment using deployment tasks.
You can use this function to view the deployment status and results. You can also drill down into the
step-by-step details for every CPE in a deployment task, and identify which CPE failed a
deployment and why.
• Managing CPE configurations through the Configuration Center
The Configuration Center helps you quickly query, back up, and view CPE configurations and
software upgrade history. You can also use it to make a configuration file or a version of CPE
software as baseline. You can restore the current configuration or software to the baseline as
needed.
• Backing up CPE configurations
You can use the Backup Configuration function to create and manage tasks for performing CPE
configuration backup. In addition, you can manually back up the configuration at any time.
• Managing backup history records
You can use this function to view details and results of all historical backup records of a backup
task.
• Comparing CPE configurations
You can use this function to compare two configuration files.
Compliance Center
Compliance Center can help you check every target CPE device or CPE class using a binding configured
compliance policy. Once it finds a CPE which violates the compliance policy, Compliance Center shows
you the violation details in multiple ways. You can then fix the illegal configuration segment items and
solve the potential configuration and security risks in the network. Also, you can generate the check
results to a report automatically, allowing you to examine the check results in detail at any time.
