41.2.4 File Template for Automatic Provisioning

To facilitate automatic provisioning setup, you can use a single template to define the files
to download during automatic provisioning. The template uses special keywords to denote
the different file types to download and in the URL address of the provisioning server it
uses a placeholder for the file names which is replaced by hardcoded file names and
extensions according to file type, as described in more detail below.
Note:
•
Unlike the parameters that define specific URLs for Auxiliary files (e.g.,
CptFileURL), the file template feature always retains the URLs after each
automatic update process. Therefore, with the file template the device always
attempts to download the files upon each automatic update process.
•
If you configure a parameter used to define a URL for a specific file (e.g.,
CptFileURL), the settings of the TemplateUrl parameter is ignored for the specific
file type (e.g., CPT file).
•
Additional placeholders can be used in the file name in the URL, for example,
<MAC> for MAC address (see ''MAC Address Placeholder in Configuration File
Name'' on page 666).

To use a file template for automatic provisioning:
1. Define the file types to download by the file template, using the AupdFilesList
parameter. Use the keywords listed in the table below to specify each file type. For
example, to specify ini, Feature Key, and CPT files:
•
ini File:
AupdFilesList = 'ini', 'fk', 'cpt'
•
CLI:
# configure system
(config-system)# automatic update
(automatic-update)# template-files-list ini,fk,cpt
2. Define the URL address of the provisioning server on which the files (specified in Step
1) are located for download, using the TemplateUrl parameter. When you configure
the URL, you must include the file type placeholder, "<FILE>", which represents the
file name. For each file type specified in Step 1, the device sends an HTTP request to
the server, where the placeholder in the URL is replaced with the filename and
extension, as listed in the below table. For example, if you configure the AupdFilesList
parameter as in Step 1 and the TemplateUrl parameter to:
•
ini File:
TemplateUrl = 'http://10.8.8.20/Site1_<FILE>'
•
CLI:
Version 7.2
If you write the MAC address placeholder string in lower case (i.e., "<mac>"),
