Cisco Cisco Configuration Engine 3.5

The Cisco Configuration Engine 3.5.2 software needs to be installed and prepared first before 
configuring a device. The device can obtain its initial configuration from the Cisco Configuration Engine 
3.5.2. 

For information about Cisco Flow-Through Provisioning, see 

If you download a configuration that changes username, password, enable password, or IP address 
for a non-agent-enabled device, you need to modify the corresponding Intelligent Modular Gateway 
(IMGW) hop information for the device to update it with the new username, password, enable 
password, and IP address.

TFTP:

No new files can be created and files cannot be deleted. However, existing files can be 
overwritten ONLY if they are publicly writable. The permissions of the files placed into the FTP 
directory can be controlled by the SFTP user managing files in the FTP directory.

The TFTP service does not require an account or password on the server system. Because of the 
lack of authentication information, TFTPD allows only publicly readable files (o+r) to be 
accessed. Files may be written only if they already exist and are publicly writable.

Device Name values may only contain the following: period (.), underscore (_), hyphen (-), and 
alphanumeric characters

Group Name values may only contain the following: underscore (_) and alphanumeric characters

The configuration entry in /etc/hosts on the server where CE is installed must comply with the 
following format:

CNS Agent should use the same config event and image ID when using CE to manage devices. 

If you download a configuration that changes the CNS password, you need to use CE to resync the 
device.

Attribute name must begin with alpha characters only when adding a new attribute through the 
Directory Manager.
