6 Configuration management
Configuration management provided by BIMS include the following functions:
•
Configuration Template Library
Use to deploy a configuration file or configuration segment in the configuration template
library on one or more CPEs. The CPE configuration resources are the basis for setting
up the configuration template library. ◦
◦ Use to add configuration resources to the configuration template library by importing
configuration templates from the clients.
◦ Use to maintain the configuration template library through the querying, deleting,
modifying, copying, and exporting functions.
•
CPE Software Library
Use to deploy a software file in the CPE software library on one or more CPEs. The CPE
software resources are the basis for setting up the CPE software library. ◦
◦ Use to add software resources to the CPE software library by importing software files
from the clients.
◦ Use to maintain the CPE software library through the querying, deleting, modifying, and
exporting functions.
•
Deployment Guide
◦ Use to streamline deployment of CPE configuration and CPE software.
– To deploy the CPE configuration, select the CPEs, select the configuration file or
configuration segment to be deployed, set the task attributes, create a CPE
configuration deployment task, and thus deploy the configuration file or configuration
segment to the selected CPEs.
– To deploy the CPE software, select the CPEs, select the software to be deployed, set
the task attributes, create a CPE software deployment task, and thus deploy the
software to the selected CPEs.
– To automatically deploy the configuration for CPEs accessing for the first time, select
certain classes of CPEs, select the configuration file or configuration segment to be
deployed, set the task attributes, create an auto CPE configuration deployment task,
and thus deploy the configuration file or configuration segment to the selected CPEs
when they access for the first time.
– To automatically deploy the CPE software for CPEs accessing for the first time, select
certain classes of CPEs, select the software to be deployed, set the task attributes,
create an auto CPE software deployment task, and thus deploy the software to the
selected CPEs when they access for the first time.
•
Deployment Task
BIMS implements configuration deployment and software deployment by using deployment
tasks. The deployment task feature provides a fast, visual deployment method. View the current
execution status and execution result of a task, and create a new task by copying and modifying
an existing task. Delete all tasks except those in the Executing status.
•
Configuration Center
In the configuration center, quickly query the current configuration of a CPE, backup the
configuration files of a CPE, and view the CPE configuration and software upgrade history.
Administrators can restore the CPE configuration and software at any time.
