Interaction With Other Features Managing Automatic Remote Configuration Download Interaction With Other Features This section contains important information about how other OmniSwitch features interact with Automatic Remote Configuration. Refer to the specific sections if required, to get detailed information about the feature interaction process. UDP/DHCP Relay Interaction with UDP/DHCP Relay is required for the following processes, to support Automatic Remote Configuration: • All the DHCP responses from the DHCP server are processed. The IP address, mask, and gateway details are processed • To acquire Option (66) and Option(67) information - the TFTP Server name and Boot file name are retrieved. For details on DHCP interaction see the section “DHCP Client Auto-Configuration Process” on page 12-16 802.1Q LLDP 802.1Q tagging is applied on VLAN 127 or the Management VLAN. In Nearest-Edge mode operation LLDP packets carry and provide the advertised VLAN ID to the Access OmniSwitches running in Auto Remote Configuration mode. Dynamic Link Aggregation (LACP) Interaction with LACP is required for the following processes, to support Automatic Remote Configuration: • To detect LACP PDU from the peer device on uplink ports • To enable the auto link aggregate creation after receiving LACP message • The link aggregate is associated as a tagged member of VLAN 127 and VLAN 1. On completion of the Automatic Download and configuration process, the automatic link aggregate is disabled and all port associations are deleted. page 12-8 OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide May 2014
Managing Automatic Remote Configuration Download Automatic Remote Configuration Download Process Automatic Remote Configuration Download Process The automatic remote configuration process is initialized when an OmniSwitch is integrated in to the network as a new device or when a firmware and configuration upgrade is required. If the automatic configuration download process is not performed completely on the switch, manual intervention is required. For details on troubleshooting techniques under such instances, see “Nearest-Edge Mode Operation” on page 12-17 The detailed process of Automatic Remote Configuration Download performed on the OmniSwitch is as follows: 1 When the switch is integrated in to the network as a new device with no vcboot.cfg file, then Automatic Remote Configuration is performed on the switch. 2 The Remote Configuration Manager on OmniSwitch configures a link aggregate automatically when a LACP PDU is detected on the uplink ports on the switch during Automatic Remote Configuration. For details, see the following section “LACP Auto Detection and Automatic Link Aggregate Association” on page 12-19. 3 A DHCP client is automatically configured on VLAN 1, Management VLAN, and VLAN 127 at switch boot up. OmniSwitch then uses different methods of DHCP client configuration until connection to a DHCP Server is obtained. For details, see the following section “DHCP Client Auto-Configuration Process” on page 12-16 4 The DHCP client obtains the switch IP address information from the DHCP server. 5 The DHCP client obtains the TFTP server IP address from the DHCP server using Option (66). 6 The DHCP client obtains the instruction file name and location from the DHCP server using Option (67). 7 SSH access is automatically enabled to allow remote access in case the automatic configuration process fails. 8 The instruction file with the .alu extension is downloaded from the TFTP server to the /flash/working directory of the OmniSwitch. 9 If available, the configuration, script, and images files are downloaded from the FTP or SFTP servers. The password used to connect to the FTP/SFTP servers is same as the username. 10 If available, the switch compares the firmware version available on the switch with the firmware version in the instruction file. If the firmware versions are different, then the new firmware is downloaded in to the /flash/working directory. 11 If available, the downloaded configuration file is saved as the vcboot.cfg file in the /flash/working directory and the switch is rebooted completing the auto configuration process (a reboot occurs only if no script file is downloaded). 12 If available, commands in the script file are run and the DHCP client configuration is automatically removed.
