Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature
information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support.
To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to http://www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not
required.
Prerequisites for Configuring the Configuration Engine
•
Obtain the name of the configuration engine instance to which you are connecting.
•
Because the CNS uses both the event bus and the configuration server to provide configurations to
devices, you must define both ConfigID and Device ID for each configured switch.
•
All switches configured with the cns config partial global configuration command must access the
event bus. The DeviceID, as originated on the switch, must match the DeviceID of the corresponding
switch definition in the Cisco Configuration Engine. You must know the hostname of the event bus to
which you are connecting.
