Information About Configuring the Configuration Engine
Cisco Configuration Engine Software
The Cisco Configuration Engine is network management utility software that acts as a configuration service
for automating the deployment and management of network devices and services. Each Cisco Configuration
Engine manages a group of Cisco devices (switches and routers) and the services that they deliver, storing
their configurations and delivering them as needed. The Cisco Configuration Engine automates initial
configurations and configuration updates by generating device-specific configuration changes, sending them
to the device, executing the configuration change, and logging the results.
The Cisco Configuration Engine supports standalone and server modes and has these Cisco Networking
Services (CNS) components:
• Configuration service:
◦ Web server
◦ File manager
◦ Namespace mapping server
• Event service (event gateway)
• Data service directory (data models and schema)
