Quick Steps for Automatic Remote Configuration<br />

1 Configure the DHCP server in the network to provide IP address, gateway, and TFTP server addresses<br />

to the Omni<strong>Switch</strong> DHCP client.<br />

2 Store the instruction file on the TFTP server.<br />

3 Store the configuration, image, and script files on the primary and/or secondary FTP/SFTP servers.<br />

4 When the Omni<strong>Switch</strong> is integrated in to the network as a new device with no vcboot.cfg file in the<br />

working directory, the automatic remote configuration process is initiated.<br />

5 A DHCP client is automatically configured on the Omni<strong>Switch</strong>. The Omni<strong>Switch</strong> obtains IP address<br />

information, TFTP server address, instruction file name, and location from the DHCP server through the<br />

DHCP client.<br />

6 The Omni<strong>Switch</strong> downloads the instruction file from the TFTP server. The instruction file contains the<br />

file names and file locations of the configuration, image, and script files.<br />

7 The Omni<strong>Switch</strong> downloads the image files from the FTP/SFTP server if necessary.<br />

8 The Omni<strong>Switch</strong> downloads the configuration file from the FTP/SFTP server, if available, and saves it<br />

as the vcboot.cfg file in the /flash/working/ directory. If no script file is downloaded, the switch reboots<br />

applying the downloaded configuration file and the automatic configuration process is complete.<br />

9 The Omni<strong>Switch</strong> downloads the script file, if available, from the FTP/SFTP server and runs the<br />

commands in the script file.<br />

Note.<br />

• If the script file is not specified in the instruction file, or if it is not properly downloaded, then the<br />

Remote Configuration Manager software automatically initiates a reload from working no<br />

rollback-timeout command after firmware or bootup configuration files are downloaded.<br />

• If a write memory command is used in the script file, then it overwrites the vcboot.cfg file. Hence, if<br />

the script file is downloaded along with the bootup configuration file, then the script file must not<br />

contain the write memory command.<br />

• If a vcboot.cfg is already present in the working directory of the switch, Automatic Remote<br />

Configuration Download does not occur.<br />
