Cisco CNS Intelligence Engine
Cisco CNS Intelligence Engine and Cisco CNS Bus Technology
The Cisco CNS Intelligence Engine (Cisco CNS IE2100 Series) is a network management appliance that
acts as a configuration service for automating the deployment and management of network devices and
services. The Cisco CNS IE2100 appliance sits between Cisco PTC/Cisco VRC and the network
elements, utilizing the Cisco CNS Integration Bus for data transport between the provisioning
applications and the network elements.
The Cisco CNS Configuration Registrar application is a web-based system for automatically distributing
configuration files to Cisco IOS network devices running Cisco IOS version 12.2(2) T, or later. Once the
Cisco CNS IE2100 appliance is initially configured and the network elements are configured to use the
Cisco CNS IE2100 appliance with two command line arguments, the system then operates automatically.
Note If you are running devices that use and earlier version of Cisco IOS or a different operating system, such
as Catalyst, you should invoke the Intelligent Modular Gateway (IMG) for communicating with the
device.
The Cisco CNS Configuration Registrar application utilizes the following industry standards and
technologies:
• eXtensible Markup Language (XML)
• Java Naming Directory Interface (JNDI)
• Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP)
• Java servlets
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
The Cisco CNS IE2100 Series can be used as the runtime component for deployment of
customer-developed applications. These applications can be developed using the Cisco CNS SDK 1.5.
Complete descriptions and installation and configuration information can be found at the URL listed in
the “Related Documents” section.
Hardware Requirements
The Cisco CNS Configuration Registrar is an application that runs on its own piece of hardware which
is typically a 1 RU IBM rack mount server running the Linux Operating System.
