Cisco Cisco Configuration Engine 3.5

The Cisco Configuration Engine 3.5.2 is a network management application that acts as a configuration 
service for automating the deployment and management of network devices and services. The 
Cisco Configuration Engine runs on host systems running Red Hat Linux 4, Red Hat Linux 5, and Solaris 
10. Also, you can install and run the Cisco Configuration Engine in VMware environment.

The Cisco Configuration Engine is a network management software application that provides a highly 
scalable, secure, and reliable solution for remote deployment. By taking advantage of intelligent agents 
inside Cisco IOS Software, the Cisco Configuration Engine enables the “call-home” architecture, where 
a new device can automatically connect with the Cisco Configuration Engine and ask for the correct 
configuration.

Cisco Configuration Engine 3.5.2 supports all the features supported in Cisco Configuration Engine 3.5 
release. For more information, see

When you perform data migration on a box where the Cisco Configuration Engine 3.5.2 is not installed, 
run the script ./reinitialize from CISCO_CE_HOME/bin. 

Before exporting the data, it is assumed that your host has already been set up and is up and running.

Go to cd$CISCO_CE_HOME/bin directory and enter the data export command ./dataexport

Make sure you type the period (.) prior to the command.

Follow the sequence of prompts to enter information of the FTP site and storage location (absolute path 
name including filename).
