Deploy Configuration Changes Using CDO's CLI Interface

Procedure

Step 1

In the left pane, click Inventory.

Step 2

Click the Devices tab.

Step 3

Click the appropriate device type tab.

Step 4

Select the device whose configuration you want to change.

Step 5

Click >_Command Line Interface in the Actions pane.

Step 6

If there are any commands in the command line interface table, click Clear to remove them.

Step 7

In the top box of the command line interface table, enter your commands at the command prompt. You can run a single command, several commands in a batch by entering each command on its own line, or entering a section of configuration file as a command. Here are some examples of commands you can enter in the command line interface table:

A single command creating the network object "albany"
object network albany 
host 209.165.30.2
Multiple commands sent together:
object network albany
host 209.165.30.2
object network boston
host 209.165.40.2
object network cambridge
host 209.165.50.2
A section of a running configuration file entered as a command:
interface GigabitEthernet0/5
 nameif guest
 security-level 0
 no ip address
Note

CDO does not require you to move between EXEC mode, Privileged EXEC mode, and Global Configuration mode. It interprets the command you enter in the proper context.

Step 8

After you have entered your commands, click Send. After CDO has successfully deployed the changes to the ASA's running config file, you receive the message, Done!

Step 9

After you send the command you may see the message, "Some commands may have made changes to the running config" along with two links.

  • Clicking Deploy to Disk saves the changes made by this command, and any other change in the running config, to the ASA's startup config.

  • Clicking Dismiss, dismisses the message.
