Purpose
Set the unique EventID or ConfigID used by the
Configuration Engine.
For interface num, enter the type of interface–for
•
example, Ethernet, Group-Async, Loopback, or
Virtual-Template. This setting specifies from which
interface the IP or MAC address should be retrieved to
define the unique ID.
For {dns-reverse | ipaddress | mac-address} enter
•
dns-reverse to retrieve the hostname and assign it as
the unique ID, enter ipaddress to use the IP address, or
enter mac-address to use the MAC address as the
unique ID.
(Optional) Enter event to set the ID to be the event-id
•
value used to identify the switch.
For {hardware-serial | hostname| string string},
•
enter hardware-serial to set the switch serial number
as the unique ID, enter hostname (the default) to select
the switch hostname as the unique ID, or enter an
arbitrary text string for string string as the unique ID.
Enable the Cisco IOS agent, and initiate an initial
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) Enable event for configuration success,
•
failure, or warning messages when the configuration is
finished.
• (Optional) Enable no-persist to suppress the
automatic writing to NVRAM of the configuration
pulled as a result of entering the cns config initial
global configuration command. If the no-persist
keyword is not entered, using the cns config initial
command causes the resultant configuration to be
automatically written to NVRAM.
(Optional) For page page, enter the web page of the
•
initial configuration. The default is /Config/config/asp.
(Optional) Enter source ip-address to use for source IP
•
address.
(Optional) Enable syntax-check to check the syntax
•
when this parameter is entered.
Though visible in the command-line help string,
Note
the encrypt keyword is not supported.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
