7. If the configuration file hp5800_startup configuration.cfg contains variables, set
values for the variables, and then click Next.
8. BIMS sets the task name as Task+current time by default. You can specify a name for
the automatic deployment task as needed.
9. Enter a description for the task, and then click Finish.
The automatic deployment task is created. When a target CPE accesses the data center network
for the first time and passes the BIMS authentication, BIMS immediately executes this task to deploy
the hp5800_startup configuration.cfg file to the target CPE. After the target CPE receives
the configuration file as its startup configuration, the CPE shuts down and starts up with the startup
configuration hp5800_startup configuration.cfg.
For more information, see “Automatically deploying CPE configurations.”
Example 2: Deploying CPEs in branch offices
Scenario description
As a network administrator working at company headquarters, you must manage all CPEs, including
those located on different branches. You are assigned to:
• Upgrade the current software version of all CPEs whose class is MSR20–10 to the latest
version—V1.5.
• When a MSR20–10 CPE accesses the company network for the first time, deploy the latest
version (V1.5) of CPE software to it.
The network topology of the CPE devices for this example is shown in Figure 8.
