The Cisco CNS Configuration Engine 1.4 is a network management application that acts as a 
configuration service for automating the deployment and management of network devices and services. 
The Cisco CNS Configuration Engine 1.4 runs on the Cisco CNS 2100 Series Intelligence Engine (CNS 
2100 Series system) hardware platform.

Each Cisco CNS Configuration Engine 1.4 manages a group of Cisco IOS devices (routers) and services 
they deliver, storing their configurations and Cisco IOS images, then delivering them as needed. The 
Cisco CNS Configuration Engine 1.4 automates initial configurations, configuration and image updates, 
dynamically generating the device-specific configuration or image on-demand, and logs the results.

The CNS Image Service is an automated, scalable, and secure mechanism designed to distribute Cisco 
IOS images and related software updates to Cisco IOS devices that have Cisco Intelligence Agents 
(CIAs). 

For those devices that do not have a CIA, non-Cisco IOS devices, and non-Cisco devices, you can use 
the IMGW Toolkit to create scripts that support SSH sessions between these devices and the CNS 
Configuration Engine 1.4.

This section highlights the new features found in this release:

Support for PIX devices in auto-update mode

IMGW Device Module Development Toolkit

CNS Image Service

This release supports Cisco IOS 12.3.

The base element of the CNS event subject namespace has been changed from cisco.cns.* to 
cisco.mgmt.cns.* in support of Cisco IOS 12.3. 

The CNS event subject namespace has been modified in accordance with the new Cisco subject 
naming conventions. In order to keep up with the new subject naming convention, CNS agents in 
Cisco IOS have been modified and released with the 12.3 Cisco IOS train. The change affects the 
subject names that the CNS agents subscribe to and publish on.
