2. Click the By CPE Class icon in the Auto Deploy Software field.
The Auto Deploy Software page appears.
3. Click Select, and then select the software you want to deploy.
4. Set the following attributes to specify how the task is executed:
• Task Name—Enter a task name. By default, the task name is Task+current time.
• Description—Enter the task description.
5. Click Select Class, and select one or more classes of CPEs on the displayed dialog box.
• If you select one or more CPE classes, when a virtual CPE belongs to a class you specified
accesses BIMS for the first time, the system automatically deploys the corresponding
software to the CPE.
• If you don’t select any class, leaving the parameter as null, the task deploys the software
to the virtual CPEs that do not belong to any CPE class. Only one such startup configuration
deployment task can exist.
6. Click OK to create an automatic deployment task.
Managing deployment tasks
BIMS provides a unified task management portal through which you can view the current status of
deployment tasks, the CPE execution result, and details of each task. The task management center
helps you drill down into the step-by-step details for every CPE in a deployment task and identify
which CPE failed a deployment and why.
The task management center gathers all types of deployment tasks, including:
• Configuration File Deployment—For deploying a configuration file to the specified CPEs. For
more information, see “Deploying CPE configurations.”
• Configuration Segment Deployment—For deploying a configuration segment to the specified
CPEs. For more information, see “Deploying CPE configurations.”

see “Restoring a CPE configuration to baseline.”
• Restore Software—For restoring historical software of a CPE. For more information, see
“Restoring CPE software to baseline.”
