Chapter 4 Configuring Cisco IOS CNS Agents

Enabling the Cisco IOS CNS Agent

After enabling the CNS event agent, start the Cisco IOS CNS agent on the switch. You can enable the
Cisco IOS agent with these commands:
•
•

Enabling an Initial Configuration

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable the CNS configuration agent and
initiate an initial configuration on the switch:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
cns config connect-intf interface-prefix
[ping-interval seconds] [retries num]
Step 3 config-cli
or
line-cli
Step 4 exit
Step 5
hostname name
Step 6 ip route network-number
OL-8915-01
The cns config initial global configuration command enables the Cisco IOS agent and initiates an
initial configuration on the switch.
The cns config partial global configuration command enables the Cisco IOS agent and initiates a
partial configuration on the switch. You can then use the Configuration Engine to remotely send
incremental configurations to the switch.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter the connect-interface-config submode, and specify
the interface for connecting to the Configuration Engine.
• Enter the interface-prefix for the connecting interface.
You must specify the interface type but need not
specify the interface number.
(Optional) For ping-interval seconds, enter the
•
interval between successive ping attempts. The range
is 1 to 30 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
(Optional) For retries num, enter the number of ping
•
retries. The range is 1 to 30. The default is 5.
Enter config-cli to connect to the Configuration Engine
through the interface defined in cns config connect-intf.
Enter line-cli to connect to the Configuration Engine
through modem dialup lines.
The config-cli interface configuration command
Note
accepts the special character & that acts as a
placeholder for the interface name. When the
configuration is applied, the & is replaced with the
interface name. For example, to connect through
FastEthernet0/1, the command
route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 &
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet0/1
Return to global configuration mode.
Enter the hostname for the switch.
Establish a static route to the Configuration Engine whose
IP address is network-number.
