Enabling The Cns Configuration Agent; Enabling An Initial Configuration - Cisco Catalyst 3750 Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 4 Configuring IE2100 CNS Agents

Enabling the CNS Configuration Agent

After enabling the CNS event agent, start the CNS configuration agent on the switch. You can enable
the configuration 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
78-15870-01
The cns config initial global configuration command enables the configuration agent and initiates
an initial configuration on the switch.
The cns config partial global configuration command enables the configuration agent and initiates
a partial configuration on the switch. You can then remotely send incremental configurations to the
switch from the Configuration Registrar.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter the connect-interface-config mode, and specify the
interface for connecting to the Configuration Registrar.
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 Registrar
through the interface defined in cns config connect-intf. Enter
line-cli to connect to the Registrar through modem dialup lines.
The config-cli interface configuration command accepts
Note
the special directive 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
FastEthernet1/0/1, the command
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 &
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet1/0/1
Return to global configuration mode.
Enter the host name for the switch.
Establish a static route to the Configuration Registrar whose IP
address is network-number.
