CHAPTER 40 Automatic Provisioning

Automatic Update for Mass Deployment

This example describes how to configure the Automatic Update feature for updating multiple
devices (i.e., mass deployment) using an HTTP provisioning server. In this example, all the
devices are configured to download the same "master" configuration file. This file serves as the
configuration template and instructs the devices which files to download and how often to perform
the Automatic Update process. In addition, the master file also instructs each device to download
an ini configuration file whose file name contains the MAC address of the device.
The example scenario is as follows:
■ All devices download a "master" configuration file that contains the following:
● Common configuration shared by all device's.
● MAC Address Placeholder in Configuration File
■ Device queries the provisioning server daily at 24:00 (midnight) for software, configuration and
Auxiliary files.
■ HTTP-based provisioning server at www.company.com for storing the files.
■ DNS server at 80.179.52.100 for resolving the domain name of the provisioning server.
➢
To set up automatic provisioning for mass provisioning (example):
1. Create a "master" configuration file template named "master_configuration.ini" or "master_
startup.txt" with the following settings:
● Common configuration for all devices:
◆
◆
● Configuration per device based on MAC address:
◆
◆
