Introduction

The Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.3.0SQ introduces the Cisco RPU-10. Cisco RPU-10 is a Windows-based tool to simplify the initial provisioning of multiple RF Gateway 10 units in an operator's system.

The configuration parameters are listed in an Microsoft Excel sheet. Cisco RPU-10 application takes the configuration data from Microsoft Excel sheet, generates the equivalent commands for Cisco RF Gateway 10, and sends it to Cisco RF Gateway 10 using Telnet.
