Device Contact During MaintenanceWindow
A key concept in MaintenanceWindow is ensuring that devices contact Cisco BAC during the window.
You can configure the devices to contact the DPE at a given date and time, by setting a value for the
PeriodicInformTime variable in the configuration template. Also, set the RandomDateTimeInRange tag
to designate a time range when the device can contact Cisco BAC.
See Example 5-4 for how to configure a device to contact Cisco BAC during a MaintenanceWindow.
Example 5-4 Configuring Device to Contact Cisco BAC During MaintenanceWindow
In the following example, the device contacts Cisco BAC for the first time on January 1, 2007, between
3 a.m. and 4 a.m. After the initial contact, the device continues to contact Cisco BAC every 30 minutes.
• PeriodicInformEnable is set to true to indicate that the device must periodically send device
information to Cisco BAC using the Inform method call.
• PeriodicInformInterval is set to 30 minutes (1800 seconds), requesting the device to attempt to
contact Cisco BAC every 30 minutes. This duration is the interval within which the device attempts
to connect with Cisco BAC if
PeriodicInformEnable is true.
• PeriodicInformTime is set to a date and time when the device should initiate contact with Cisco
BAC.
