To disable the CNS configuration agent, use the no cns config initial {ip-address | hostname} global
configuration command.
This example shows how to configure an initial configuration on a remote switch. The switch host name
is the unique ID. The CNS Configuration Registrar IP address is 172.28.129.22.
Switch(config)# cns config connect-intf serial ping-interval 1 retries 1

Purpose
Enable the configuration agent, and initiate an initial
configuration.
•
For {ip-address | hostname}, enter the
IP address or the host name of the configuration
server.
(Optional) For port-number, enter the port
•
number of the configuration server. The default
port number is 80.
(Optional) Enable event for configuration
•
success, failure, or warning messages when the
configuration is finished.
•
(Optional) Enable no-persist to suppress the
automatic writing to NVRAM of the
configuration pulled as a result of entering the
cns config initial global configuration
command. If the no-persist keyword is not
entered, using the cns config initial command
causes the resultant configuration to be
automatically written to NVRAM.
(Optional) For page page, enter the web page of
•
the initial configuration. The default is
/Config/config/asp.
•
(Optional) Enter source ip-address to use for
source IP address.
•
(Optional) Enable syntax-check to check the
syntax when this parameter is entered.
Note
Though visible in the command-line help
string, the encrypt keyword is not supported.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify information about the configuration agent.
Verify your entries.
