Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Set-Only Provisioning Attribute?
Set-Only is a provisioning attribute that contains a collection of attributes as follows:
●
Cisco UPM only provisions the settings on the device, but does not sync and manage them in the Cisco
UPM database.

Cisco UPM does not support validation for their values.
●
Brief description and data format are provided for each Set-Only attribute by i (information) icon on UI.

interface request for setting the domain synchronization rules; you must do so through the Provisioning Manager
user interface.
