IOS Device Management Workflow
------------------------------

This topic outlines a possible workflow for setting up Local Break Out using a SIP
Local Gateway. This workflow copies IOS commands to the IOS device CLI after each
step. Alternatively, you can use the consolidate commands tool to create one set
of IOS commands to run all at once.


**Perform these steps**:

1. Create customized Command Builders for events. Either add new ones, or clone
   the default ones and update the clones. See :ref:`set_up_a_command_builder`
   or :ref:`clone_a_command_builder`.
2. Add an IOS device at customer hierarchy level. See :ref:`set_up_an_ios_device`.
3. View the IOS Commands log and copy commands to the IOS device CLI. See
   :ref:`view_ios_commands_log`.
4. Add SIP Local Gateways at customer hierarchy level. See :ref:`set_up_sip_local_gateway`.
5. View the IOS Commands log and copy commands to the IOS device CLI. See
   :ref:`view_ios_commands_log`.
6. Perform manual configuration on the SIP Local Gateway. See :ref:`ios_gateway_manual_configuration`.
7. Associate SIP Local Gateways to sites. See :ref:`associate_sip_local_gateway_to_site`.
8. View the IOS Commands log and copy commands to the IOS device CLI. See
   :ref:`view_ios_commands_log`.
9. Create E.164 Associations. See :ref:`associate_set_e164_numbers_to_one_directory_number` 
   or :ref:`associate_range_e164_numbers_to_range_directory_numbers`.
10. View the IOS Commands log and copy commands to the IOS device CLI. See
    :ref:`view_ios_commands_log`.
