Configuration requirements
The Configuration Wizard allows you to create and deploy payloads of configurations to IOS devices
on the network. A payload is a configuration of device properties, such as SNMP settings, user
account information, software image, and others.
NOTE
You cannot use the Configuration Wizard to deploy configurations to non-IOS devices.
Before creating payload configurations, make sure the following prerequisites have been
completed:
• The discovery process must be run to add devices to the Management application. Devices
must be under the Management application before you can deploy configurations to them.
• The Configuration Management privilege must be in your Management application user
account or role.
• You must configure the username and password required to log in to the device when using the
Command Line Interface (CLI). Some payloads, such as image updates, banners, and SNMP
community strings, are deployed to devices using the CLI instead of SNMP; therefore, the
Management application must log in to the device with a CLI username and password.
