IOS device management
-----------------------


Overview 
..........

In Automate, you can set up IOS devices such as SIP local gateways and analog
gateways. And you can set up command builders to generate the appropriate IOS commands, which 
allow you to copy to the IOS device CLI.

IOS device management workflow
................................

This section outlines a possible workflow for setting up Local Break Out (LBO) 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.



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:

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:
