Configuring CNS Embedded Agents
Step3 config-cli
or
line-cli
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.
Note The config-cli interface configuration
command accepts 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
FastEthernet0/0, the command config-cli
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 & generates the
command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
FastEthernet0/0.
Step4 exit Return to global configuration mode.
Step5 hostname name Enter the hostname for the switch.
Step6 ip route network-number Establish a static route to the Configuration Registrar
whose IP address is network-number.
Step7 cns id interface num {dns-reverse | ipaddress |
mac-address} [event]
or
cns id {hardware-serial | hostname | string string} [event]
Set the unique eventID or configID used by the
Configuration Registrar.
•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.
