8 Managing Automatic
The Automatic Remote Configuration feature allows the automatic upgrade of firmware and/or configura-
tion of an OmniSwitch without user intervention. It also allows the automated configuration of the switch
on bootup, when the switch is connected to the network for the first time. This feature enables the auto-
matic download and installation of the critical configuration bootup and image files.

For related information on the initial setup of the switch, see the Getting Started Guide. For information on
switch file management, see Chapter 1, Managing System Files.
Note: Newly deployed or upgraded switches with no boot.cfg file running AOS 6.4.3 will automatically
run the Out of the Box Auto-Configuration feature. This causes the CMM OK1 LED to blink amber while
the process is running. If the Auto-Configuration process is not successful the CMM OK1 LED will
continue to blink amber, this is normal behavior.
Once the Auto-Configuration process times out (approximately 30 seconds) the switch configuration can
be saved to the boot.cfg file using the 'write memory' command. The CMM OK1 LED will then turn solid
green as in previous releases.
To ensure the Auto-Configuration process is able run properly, please ensure at least one NI is inserted in
the chassis-based switches.
