Understanding Cisco Configuration Engine Software

The Cisco Configuration Engine is network management software that acts as a configuration service

for automating the deployment and management of network devices and services (see Figure 4-1). Each

Configuration Engine manages a group of Cisco devices (sw

itches and routers) and the services that they

deliver, storing their configurations and delivering them as needed. The 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 Configuration Engine supports standalone and server modes and has these CNS components:

• Configuration service (web server, file manager, and namespace mapping server)

• Event service (event gateway)

• Data service directory (data models and schema)

In standalone mode, the Configuration Engine supports an embedded Directory Service. In this mode,

o external directory or other data store is required. In server mode, the Configuration Engine supports

the use of a user-defined external directory.
