LMS 3.2.1 - Config Job with Varying Parameters per Device

[Brian Saunders]

Hello all,

Have a question in regards to deploying a job either within NetConfig or Compliance Management via Ciscoworks LMS 3.2.1.  Basically we are wanting to deploy an access-list to all our devices, example:

ip access-list 10 deny host 192.x.x.15

ip access-list 10 permit any

The 2nd and 3rd octets in the IP address of the deny statement would be unique to each device that we deploy the job to.  I have read that this is possible via a parameterized file BUT would each device and the deny IP address specific to that device have to be defined within the XML file?

Cheers,

Brian

So just want to confirm - the only way I can do this is if I create a NetConfig job that has the parameterized box checked off and setup like so:

access-list 10 deny host $device

access-list 10 permit any

int tunnel 0

ip access-group 10 out

exit

int tunnel 11

ip access-group 10 out

exit

And then drop an XML file on the server that defines each device and the IP address that is unique to each device like so:

10.1.1.34

10.2.1.34

Just want to make sure there isn't another method that wouldn't require creating an XML file that defines every device we need to update.

Cheers,

Brian
