Cisco Cisco Configuration Engine 3.0

The Cisco Configuration Engine 3.0 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 either Linux or Solaris.

Each Cisco Configuration Engine 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 Configuration Engine automates initial configurations and configuration and image updates, 
dynamically generating the device-specific configuration or image on demand, and logs the results.

Cisco Configuration Engine 3.0 supports updated versions of the Solaris and Linux operating systems 
with increased device connections. For details see
