6 Compliance Center
Introduction
The BIMS compliance check function helps you check CPE devices based on every target CPE or
CPE class. It uses a binding configured compliance policy and provides prompt feedback. Once
it finds a CPE violating the compliance policy, Compliance Center shows you the violation details
in multiple ways. In addition, you can fix the illegal configuration segment items, solving potential
configuration and security problems in your network. By making good use of the compliance check
mechanism, you can ensure your network obeys enterprise rules.
Compliance Center includes the following three functions:
• Check Task—Enables you to create a new check task to bind the compliance policy to the
specific CPE. In addition, it can modify the existing check task and fix illegal configuration
items.
• Task History—Shows you the compliance policy check results and CPE violating results in
detail.
• Compliance Policy—Enables you to configure compliance policies, or use those defined by
the system. A compliance policy can be composed of several rules, and each rule is configured
according to user needs.
Compliance workflow
In general, when administering compliance tasks, you
1. Select a system-defined policy or customize a compliance policy according to your needs.
2. Bind the compliance to the target CPE or CPE class to create a new check task.
3. After the check procedure succeeds, check violation details from the check reports.
4. Fix the configuration segment contents of any violating CPEs using the Fix function.
Managing check task
You can use the check task interface to add, modify, delete, and run a check task, check the task
history, and fix violated CPE configurations. BIMS enables you to execute the compliance check
task immediately or within a fixed period. The following sections describe how to manage a check
task.
