Quick Steps for Automatic Remote Configuration

1
Configure the DHCP server in the network to provide IP address, gateway, and TFTP server addresses
to the OmniSwitch DHCP client.
2
Store the instruction file on the TFTP server.
3
Store the configuration, image, and script files on the primary and/or secondary FTP/SFTP servers.
4
When the OmniSwitch is integrated into the network as a new device with no boot.cfg file in the
Working directory, the Automatic Remote Configuration process is initiated.
5
A DHCP client is automatically configured on the OmniSwitch. The OmniSwitch obtains IP address
information, TFTP server address, instruction file name and location from the DHCP server through the
DHCP client.
6
The OmniSwitch downloads the instruction file from the TFTP server. The instruction file contains the
file names and file locations of the configuration, image, and script files.
7
The OmniSwitch downloads the image files from the FTP/SFTP server if necessary.
8
The OmniSwitch downloads the configuration file from the FTP/SFTP server, if available, and saves it
as the boot.cfg file in the /flash/working/ directory. If no script file is downloaded, the switch reboots
applying the downloaded configuration file and the automatic configuration process is complete.
9
The OmniSwitch downloads the script file, if available, from the FTP/SFTP server and runs the
commands in the script file.
Note.
•
If the script file is not specified in the instruction file, or if it is not properly downloaded, then the
Remote Configuration Manager software automatically initiates a
out command after firmware or bootup configuration files are downloaded.
•
If a write memory
script file is downloaded along with the bootup configuration file, then the script file should not
contain the write memory
