Auto Provisioning Of Firmware And Configuration - Patton electronics SmartWare R.3.20 Software Configuration Manual

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
Example: Copy system images from a network server to the Flash memory
The following example shows how to download the driver software image file from the TFTP server at IP
address 172.16.36.80.
node>enable
node#configure
node(cfg)#copy tftp://172.16.36.80/myfirmware/b flash:
Completed image download
Completed file download /flash/cli/spec.xml
node(cfg)#
Note
When encountering problems due to memory exhaustion (message Parsing
batch file...% APP - OUT OF MEMORY). shutdown the H.323 gateway
prior to initiating the download command as follows (which will tempo-
rarily free the required memory):
After the successful download, either issue the
ware) or restart the H.323 gateway, thus enabling calls again (with the current software):
node(gw-h323)[h323]#no shutdown
Note
Different script files may come along with a software upgrade. Refer to the
release notes of the upgrade to find out which one to use.
Auto provisioning of firmware and configuration
The auto provisioning capability enables you to automatically distribute up-to-date configurations and firm-
ware to a large number of units using TFTP. It works as follows:
The unit downloads a specific file from a TFTP server. If this file has changed since the last download, it is
stored and executed. If the file on the server did not change since the last download, no action is taken. If the
units are configured to do auto provisioning, a network operator can only update the firmware files on the
TFTP server, which automatically distributes it to all units. The "profile provisioning" configures this. Here's
an example for firmware provisioning:
profile provisioning FIRMWARE
