File Servers And Download Process; Led Status - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Manual

Overview

File Servers and Download Process

The required files mentioned in the instruction file are downloaded from the primary FTP/SFTP file
server. The username required to connect to the FTP/SFTP enabled servers is provided in the instruction
file. The password required to connect to the servers is same as the username.
If the configuration, debug and script file names are specified in the instruction file, then they are
downloaded to the /flash/working directory of the switch.
The Remote Configuration Manager software compares the current firmware version on the switch to the
one mentioned in the instruction file. If the firmware version is different, then firmware upgrade is
performed. The new firmware or image files are downloaded to the working directory of the switch.
Note. If the primary server is down or if there is any failure in downloading the files from the primary file
server, then a connection is established with the secondary file server. The secondary file server is used for
file download.
All the required files are downloaded.
Note. If a specific filename (for firmware and configuration/debug/script files) is not found, an error is
logged. The download process continues with the next available file. File transfer is tried three times and if
file transfer still fails, an error is logged, and download process is stopped. Due to this, the working folder
of the switch contains an incomplete set of image files, configuration, debug, or script files. For details on
troubleshooting under such instances, see -
Now, the DHCP client configured on VLAN 1 is removed. The script file is downloaded and the
commands in the script file are run. All the commands in the script file are implemented on the switch in
the order specified.
For detailed information on the different scenarios when Automatic Remote Configuration download
occurs, see - "Automatic Remote Configuration Download Process" on page -14
