Learn 2216 Configurations

Use the 2216 Learn Configurations task panel to discover the current state of a 2216 and to set a configuration version for the device that reflects that state. You can also choose to upload the load image for this configuration into the Nways Deployment Manager database if it does not already exist.

The 2216 Learn Configurations task is a scheduled job. If it completes successfully, any previously active configuration defined for this device becomes inactive, and the learned configuration becomes the active configuration for the device.

• Click Learn configurations from the 2216 folder of the navigation tree.
• Select a configuration from the Filtered List or Custom List of the Configurations task panel, click Process selected..., and then click Learn selected.... See 2216 Configurations for more information about the 2216 Configurations task panel.
