Enabling a TFTP Server on the Edge Router
The Cisco MWR 2941 requires a TFTP server for zero-touch deployment. The TFTP server is typically
implemented on the carrier edge router. You can use the following global configuration commands
enable a TFTP server on the edge router that can send a configuration to the Cisco MWR 2941 router.
tftp-server sup-bootflash:network-confg
tftp-server sup-bootflash:test-2941-confg
Once the Cisco MWR 2941 boots with this configuration, it can connect to the CNS-CE server.
Configuring the Cisco Configuration Engine
The Cisco Configuration Engine (formerly known as the Cisco CNS Configuration Engine) allows you
to remotely manage configurations and IOS software images on Cisco devices including the
Cisco MWR 2941.
Once the Cisco MWR 2941 downloads the bootstrap configuration and connects to the Cisco
Configuration Engine server, you can use the server to download a full configuration to the router. You
can also use the CNS-CE server to complete any of the following tasks:
• Manage configuration templates—The CNS-CE server can store and manage configuration
templates.
• Download a new image—You can use the CNS-CE server to load a new IOS image on a
Cisco MWR 2941 router.
• Loading a new config—You can use the CNS-CE server to load a new configuration file on a
Cisco MWR 2941 router.
• Enable identification—You can use a unique CNS agent ID to verify the identity of a host device
prior to communication with the CNS-CE server.
• Enable Authentication—You can configure the CNS-CE server to require a unique password from
the 2941 router as part of any communication handshake.
• Enable encryption—You can enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for the HTTP sessions
between the CNS agent devices (Cisco MWR 2941 routers) and the CNS-CE server.
For instructions about how to use the CNS-CE server, see the Cisco Configuration Engine Installation
& Configuration Guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/netmgtsw/ps4617/tsd_products_support_series_home.html.
Verifying the Configuration
You can use the following IOS commands to verify the CNS configuration on the Cisco MWR 2941.
