What is the Cisco IE2100?

The Cisco Intelligence Engine 2100 Series (IE2100) is a network management device that acts as a configuration service for automating the deployment and management of network device configuration.

Each Cisco IE2100 device communicates with a group of Cisco IOS devices, and is capable of storing their configurations and delivering them as needed.

VRC supports the use of Cisco IE2100 and the Cisco Network Security (CNS) configuration server to deliver configurations to network devices.

To use a Cisco IE2100 to access elements in your network, you must configure the device outside of VRC. A large network might have multiple Cisco IE2100 devices.

Note: You must have the CNS Event Bus installed and running to use a Cisco IE2100 device in your network.

If you are using the Cisco IE2100 device in your network, and AAA is enabled on a device, a user with privilege level of 15 is required to bypass the enabled password prompt.
