Monitoring and Managing the Cisco MWR 2941 Router
Configuring Cisco Networking Services (CNS)
Cisco Networking Services (CNS) is a collection of services that can provide remote configuration of
Cisco IOS networking devices and remote execution of some command-line interface (CLI) commands.
CNS allows a Cisco MWR 2941 deployed and powered on in the field to automatically download its
configuration.
Note The Cisco MWR 2941 only supports CNS over motherboard Ethernet interfaces. Other interface types
do not support CNS.
To enable CNS, you need the following items:
• A DHCP server (standalone or enabled on the carrier edge router)
• A TFTP server (standalone or enabled on the carrier edge router)
• A server running the Cisco Configuration Engine (formerly known as the CNS-CE server)
Figure 4-5 shows a sample CNS network.

Note These devices must be connected through onboard Ethernet interfaces. CNS connections over Ethernet
HWICs and non-ethernet interfaces are not supported.
The following sections describe how to configure CNS on the Cisco MWR 2941.
