Download Component Files Managing Automatic Remote Configuration Download Download Component Files This section provides the details of the files downloaded and how they are utilized during the automatic configuration process. The main component files are: • Instruction file —The instruction file is the initial file required for the automatic remote configuration process to occur. The instruction file is stored in the TFTP server with the .alu extension. For further details, see “Instruction File” on page 12-12 • Firmware upgrade files—The firmware files or image files differ for different OmniSwitch platforms. These image files contain executable code, which provides support for the system, Ethernet ports, and network functions. For further details, see “Firmware Upgrade Files” on page 12-14 • Bootup configuration file —The file contains bootup configuration information for the switch. The bootup configuration file stores the network configuration parameters. For further details, see “Bootup Configuration File” on page 12-14 • Debug Configuration file — The debug configuration file stores the default debug configuration information. For further details, see “Debug Configuration File” on page 12-14 • Script file —The script file consists of commands to be performed on the switch so that appropriate actions can be taken on the downloaded files. For further details, see “Script File” on page 12-15 Instruction File The instruction file is the initial file required for automatic remote configuration process to occur. The instruction file is stored in the TFTP server with the .alu extension. The instruction file contains user information such as switch ID, file version, firmware version, image file names and location, configuration file (vcboot.cfg) name and location, script file name and location, FTP/SFTP server IP address, username and password to connect to the FTP/SFTP server. The TFTP server IP address and instruction filename details are received from the DHCP server by the DHCP client on the OmniSwitch. The instruction file is downloaded from the TFTP server and stored in the /flash/working directory of the switch. Note. • If an error or failure occurs during the file transfer, the transfer process is retried up to three times. If file transfer and download are not successful, the automatic remote configuration process is halted and the switch is made available remotely using SSH. • All contents of the instruction file are stored in the switch log (swlog.log) file as evidence of the last Automatic Remote Configuration download. page 12-12 OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide May 2014
Managing Automatic Remote Configuration Download Download Component Files Instruction File Syntax The instruction file is a text file containing the following information: Header Comments Firmware version and file location Configuration file name and location Debug file name and location Script file name and location Primary file server address/ protocol/username Secondary file server address/ protocol/username Contains user information such as switch ID, file version, and so on. Header text is a type of comment. Comments provide additional information for better user readability. These lines are ignored during the remote configuration download process. Image files required for firmware upgrade. The file containing the configuration for the switch, this file is saved as the vcboot.cfg file in the /flash/working directory. The AlcatelDebug.cfg containing additional debug configuration commands The script file containing commands to be implemented on the switch. The primary file server from which the required files are downloaded. The specified protocol and username is used for the download. The secondary file server from which the required files are downloaded if the connection to primary file server fails. The specified protocol and username are used for the download. Example The instruction file has the Keyword:Value format as shown below: ! Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch OS6860 – Instruction file version 1.2.1 ! Firmware version Firmware version:OS_8_1_1_R01 Firmware location:/home/ftpboot/firmware ! Configuration file Config filename:boot_OS6860.cfg Config location:/home/ftpboot/config !
