Usage Guidelines
Use this command to connect to the CNS configuration engine using a specific type of interface. You
must specify the interface type but need not specify the interface number; the router’s bootstrap
configuration finds the connecting interface, regardless of the slot in which the card resides or the
modem dialout line for the connection, by trying different candidate interfaces or lines until it
successfully pings the registrar.

commands to configure the modem dialout line.
The config-cli command accepts the special directive character “&,” which acts as a placeholder for the
interface name. When the configuration is applied, the & is replaced with the interface name. Thus, for
example, if we are able to connect using FastEthernet0/0, the command
