Quick Steps for Automatic Remote Configuration Managing Automatic Remote Configuration Download Quick Steps for Automatic Remote Configuration 1 Configure the DHCP server in the network to provide IP address, gateway, and TFTP server addresses to the OmniSwitch DHCP client. 2 Store the instruction file on the TFTP server. 3 Store the configuration, image, and script files on the primary and/or secondary FTP/SFTP servers. 4 When the OmniSwitch is integrated in to the network as a new device with no vcboot.cfg file in the working directory, the automatic remote configuration process is initiated. 5 A DHCP client is automatically configured on the OmniSwitch. The OmniSwitch obtains IP address information, TFTP server address, instruction file name, and location from the DHCP server through the DHCP client. 6 The OmniSwitch downloads the instruction file from the TFTP server. The instruction file contains the file names and file locations of the configuration, image, and script files. 7 The OmniSwitch downloads the image files from the FTP/SFTP server if necessary. 8 The OmniSwitch downloads the configuration file from the FTP/SFTP server, if available, and saves it as the vcboot.cfg file in the /flash/working/ directory. If no script file is downloaded, the switch reboots applying the downloaded configuration file and the automatic configuration process is complete. 9 The OmniSwitch downloads the script file, if available, from the FTP/SFTP server and runs the commands in the script file. Note. • If the script file is not specified in the instruction file, or if it is not properly downloaded, then the Remote Configuration Manager software automatically initiates a reload from working no rollback-timeout command after firmware or bootup configuration files are downloaded. • If a write memory command is used in the script file, then it overwrites the vcboot.cfg file. Hence, if the script file is downloaded along with the bootup configuration file, then the script file must not contain the write memory command. • If a vcboot.cfg is already present in the working directory of the switch, Automatic Remote Configuration Download does not occur. page 12-4 OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide May 2014
Managing Automatic Remote Configuration Download Overview Overview The Automatic Remote Configuration feature provides the advantage of automatic download and installation of critical configuration and image files at initial bootup or when firmware upgrade is required for the OmniSwitch. Automatic Remote Configuration download occurs when: • There is no bootup configuration file (vcboot.cfg) in the working directory of the switch. • During a takeover or reboot on the new Primary unit or CMM. • The initialization process of the switch is complete and the network interfaces or ports are ready. • There is connectivity with a DHCP server through the default VLAN 1, the Nearest-Edge mode management VLAN, or through a tagged VLAN 127. • There is connectivity with TFTP file server. The following sections provide more information about the automatic configuration and download process. Basic Operation Automatic remote configuration process is initialized on the OmniSwitch if the vcboot.cfg file is not found in the working directory of the switch. The following illustration shows the basic setup required for Automatic Remote Configuration Download operation.
