Enabling A Partial Configuration - Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 4 Configuring Cisco IOS Configuration Engine
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:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
cns config partial {ip-address | hostname}
Step 2
[port-number] [source ip-address]
Step 3 end
Step 4 show cns config stats
or
show cns config outstanding
Step 5 show running-config
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
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.
