Usage Guidelines
You must configure the CNS password the first time a router is deployed, and the CNS password must
be the same as the bootstrap password set on the Configuration Engine (CE). If both the router and the
CE bootstrap password use their default settings, a newly deployed router will be able to connect to the
CE.
Once connected, the CE will change the CNS password from the bootstrap password to a random
password. Network administrators must ensure not to change the CNS password. If the CNS password
is changed, connectivity to the CE will be lost.
Examples
The following example shows how to set a CNS password named password1:
Router(config)# cns password password1
