8. After you finish configuring the variables, set the deployment task attributes, and then click
Finish.
For more information, see “Deploying CPE configurations.”
BIMS executes the task according to the task attributes, and deploys the segment to the target CPEs.
Example 5: Using Compliance Center
Compliance management helps solve potential configuration and security problems in your network.
It provides an open interface for you to customize compliance policies and execute CPE checking
and violation fixing procedures. Based on a multi-task model, a compliance policy can be bound
with one or more target CPE devices or classes. When BIMS finds configuration segments that
violate the compliance policy, it raises a corresponding alarm and immediately reports the violating
details.
Scenario description
As a network administrator, you must configure a compliance policy for checking whether the
interface link-protocol mode of the target CPE class—in this case 12508(HP)—is PPP. If certain
CPEs violate the policy, you will check the violation details and fix them.
Task analysis
To execute this scenario, you would:
1. Customize a compliance policy.
2. Create a new check task to bind the compliance policy with the target CPE class.
3. Check the violation reports for details.
4. Fix any violating configuration segments by using the fix function.
BIMS operations
The following sections describe the operations you must perform in BIMS for this example.
