Schedule Device Updates Using Default Device Configuration

To update a group of Cisco VXC 6215 devices, you can assign a Default Device Configuration (DDC). A DDC allows you to set default configurations for a group of devices and ensures that the devices conform to your configurations. That is, if there is any deviation from your default configurations, Cisco VXC Manager reverts the devices to your specified configurations automatically (Cisco VXC Manager automatically sends the Cisco VXC Manager packages in the DDC to the devices according to your schedule and without your intervention).

See the following sections to configure a DDC:

•Configuring Default Device Configuration Preferences, page 2-12

•Procedure for First-Time Default Device Configuration, page 2-13

•Procedure for Existing Default Device Configuration, page 2-13
