Note:
If you selected an option that forces a reboot (restore configuration, update
firmware, or reset factory defaults), the SLB unit automatically reboots at the end of the
process.
Zero Touch Provisioning Configuration Restore
The Zero Touch Provisioning feature allows a factory defaulted SLB to acquire a default
configuration from a DHCP server and TFTP server when it is booted. At boot-time, before the
normal startup process, a unit will attempt to acquire network parameters and a configuration file,
first over Eth1, and then over Eth2:
The unit will broadcast on the Eth1 network port for a DHCP server on the local subnet,
requesting DHCP options "TFTP Server" (DHCP option #66) and "Boot Filename" (DHCP
option #67).
If it receives both options from the DHCP server, and the Boot Filename is a valid SLB
configuration filename ending in "-slccfg.tgz", it will attempt to download the Boot Filename
from the TFTP Server.
If it is able to download the Boot Filename from the TFTP Server, it will restore the
configuration onto the SLB, and begin the normal startup process.
If any of these steps fail for the Eth1 network port, it will repeat the process of trying to acquire
a configuration over the Eth2 network port.
After attempting to acquire a configuration over the Eth2 network port, the unit will begin the
normal startup process.
Any results of attempting to acquire and restore a configuration file will be output to the console
port and the system log. Configurations for firmware versions that are newer than the firmware
version running on the unit will not be restored. Spaces are not supported in either the directory or
filename portion of the Boot Filename path.
To manage configuration files:
The Manage option on the
configurations saved to the selected location and delete any of the configurations. This feature is
available for the default, CIFS Share, and USB locations.
