Overview<br />

Managing Automatic Remote Configuration Download<br />

Network Components<br />

The network components required for the Automatic Remote Configuration download process are:<br />

• DHCP server (mandatory)<br />

• TFTP file server (mandatory)<br />

• Primary FTP/SFTP server (mandatory)<br />

• Secondary FTP/SFTP server (optional)<br />

• <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Switch</strong> (only required for Nearest-Edge Mode)<br />

Information Provided by DHCP Server<br />

When the network interfaces or ports on the switch are ready, a DHCP client is automatically configured.<br />

For details on the DHCP client auto-configuration, see “DHCP Client Auto-Configuration Process” on<br />

page 12-16. The following information is acquired from the DHCP server, after a connection is established:<br />

• IP address of the Network Gateway or Router.<br />

• TFTP file server address.<br />

• Instruction file name and location.<br />

• Dynamic IP address for the Omni<strong>Switch</strong> (valid only for initial bootup process).<br />

Information Provided by Instruction File<br />

The TFTP server address information is received from the DHCP server. The Omni<strong>Switch</strong> downloads the<br />

instruction file from the TFTP server. The instruction file provides the following information:<br />

• Firmware version and file location.<br />

• Configuration file name and location.<br />

• Debug configuration file name and location.<br />

• Script file name and location.<br />

• Primary FTP/SFTP file server address / type / username.<br />

• Secondary FTP/SFTP file server address / type / username.<br />

For more details on all the component files downloaded during the automatic remote configuration<br />

download process, see - “Download Component Files” on page 12-12.<br />
