Chapter 5 Configuring Cisco IOS Configuration Engine

Configuring Cisco IOS Agents

This example shows how to configure an initial configuration on a remote switch when the switch IP
address is known. The Configuration Engine IP address is 172.28.129.22.

Switch(config)# cns template connect template-dhcp

Switch(config-tmpl-conn)# cli ip address dhcp

Switch(config-tmpl-conn)# exit

Switch(config)# cns template connect ip-route

Switch(config-tmpl-conn)# cli ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ${next-hop}

Switch(config-tmpl-conn)# exit

Switch(config)# cns connect dhcp

Switch(config-cns-conn)# discover interface gigabitethernet

Switch(config-cns-conn)# template template-dhcp

Switch(config-cns-conn)# template ip-route

Switch(config-cns-conn)# exit

Switch(config)# hostname RemoteSwitch

RemoteSwitch(config)# ip route 172.28.129.22 255.255.255.255 11.11.11.1

RemoteSwitch(config)# cns id ethernet 0 ipaddress

RemoteSwitch(config)# cns config initial 172.28.129.22 no-persist

Enabling a Partial Configuration

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable the Cisco IOS agent and to initiate a
partial configuration on the switch:

To disable the Cisco IOS agent, use the no cns config partial {ip-address | hostname} global
configuration command. To cancel a partial configuration, use the cns config cancel privileged EXEC
command.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

cns config partial {ip-address | hostname}
[port-number] [source ip-address]

Enable the configuration agent, and initiate a partial
configuration.

For {ip-address | hostname}, enter the IP address or
the hostname of the configuration server.

(Optional) For port-number, enter the port number of
the configuration server. The default port number is
80.

(Optional) Enter source ip-address to use for the
source IP address.

the encrypt keyword is not supported.

Step 3

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

show cns config stats

or

show cns config outstanding

Verify information about the configuration agent.

Step 5

Verify your entries.

Step 6

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
