Enabling a Partial Configuration
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable the Cisco IOS agent and to initiate a
partial configuration on the switch:
To disable the Cisco IOS agent, use the no cns config partial {ip-address | hostname} global
configuration command. To cancel a partial configuration, use the cns config cancel privileged EXEC
command.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
cns config partial {ip-address | hostname}
[port-number] [source ip-address]
Enable the configuration agent, and initiate a partial
configuration.
•
For {ip-address | hostname}, enter the IP address or
the hostname of the configuration server.
•
(Optional) For port-number, enter the port number of
the configuration server. The default port number is 80.
•
(Optional) Enter source ip-address to use for the
source IP address.
Note
Though visible in the command-line help string,
the encrypt keyword is not supported.
Step 3
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show cns config stats
or
show cns config outstanding
Verify information about the configuration agent.
Step 5
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
