Deploy configuration changes using Security Cloud Control's CLI interface

This task allows you to deploy configuration changes to devices using the CLI interface, enabling direct command execution for configuration management and device updates.

Use the CLI interface when you need to make configuration changes to devices through direct command entry. This method is useful for single commands, batch operations, or applying configuration file sections.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Security Devices.

Step 2

Click the Devices tab.

Step 3

Click the appropriate device type tab.

Step 4

Select the device whose configuration you want to change.

Step 5

Click >_Command Line Interface in the Actions pane.

Step 6

If there are any commands in the command line interface table, click Clear to remove them.

Step 7

In the top box of the command line interface table, enter your commands at the command prompt. You can run a single command, several commands in a batch by entering each command on its own line, or entering a section of configuration file as a command.

A single command creating the network object "albany":

object network albany 
host 209.165.30.2

Multiple commands sent together:

object network albany
host 209.165.30.2
object network boston
host 209.165.40.2
object network cambridge
host 209.165.50.2

A section of a running configuration file entered as a command:

interface GigabitEthernet0/5
 nameif guest
 security-level 0
 no ip address

Note	Security Cloud Control does not require you to move between EXEC mode, Privileged EXEC mode, and Global Configuration mode. It interprets the command you enter in the proper context.

Step 8

After you have entered your commands, click Send.

After Security Cloud Control has successfully deployed the changes to the ASA's running config file, you receive the message, Done!

Step 9

After you send the command, you may see the message, "Some commands may have made changes to the running config." This message includes two links.

Click Deploy to Disk to save the changes made by this command, and any other change in the running config, to the ASA's startup config.
Click Dismiss to dismiss the message.

The configuration changes are deployed to the device's running configuration. If you choose to deploy to disk, the changes are also saved to the startup configuration.
