Auto provisioning of firmware and configuration 73
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 5 • System image handling
Note the placeholder used in the file location. Placeholders can be used for each part of the location, be it
server address, path or filename. The following place holders are available:
• $(system.mac)—MAC address of ETH 0/0 (without “:” between the hexadecimal characters)
• $(system.serial)—serial number of the unit
• $(dhcp.66)—DHCP option 66 (TFTP server IP), as delivered by the DHCP server (only if DHCP
is enabled)
• $(dhcp.67)—DHCP option 67 (Boot file name), as delivered by the DHCP server (only if DHCP
is enabled)
To use and debug provisioning:
To continuously poll for firmware or configuration changes, use the
provisioning execute command together
with the new
timer command as described below. Here’s how to do both firmware and configuration provi-
sioning, with a polling interval of 10 minutes.
timer FIRMWARE_UPDATE now + 2 minutes every 10 minutes “provisioning execute FIRMWARE”
timer CONFIG_UPDATE now + 2 minutes every 10 minutes “provisioning execute CONFIG”
2 [name] (pf-prov)[CONFIG]#location 1
tftp://tftp1.provider.net /configs/
$(system.mac).cfg
Specifies the location of the file to check
for changes. $(system.mac) is a place-
holder for the unit’s MAC address of
ETH 0/0. Using host names instead of IP
addresses works only if DNS resolver is
enabled and configured.
3 [name] (pf-prov)[CONFIG]#location 2
tftp://172.16.1.33/configs/$(system.mac).cfg
Specifies alternate locations of the file. If
the first could not be contacted, the sec-
ond is tried, and so on.
4 [name] (pf-prov)[CONFIG]#activation reload
graceful
Specifies how the new configuration
should be activated. Choose between
immediate or graceful reload.
