Motorola Series Switch WS5100 - Manual (Page 40)

2-6 WS5100 Series Switch System Reference Guide
For the static case (where the URLs for the configuration and image files are not supplied by DHCP), the URLs
can be specified using the CLI, SNMP or Applet. Use the CLI to define the expected firmware image version.
If the image version is not specified, derive it from the file name. If it can not be derived from the filename,
the system will attempt to load something other than what it is currently running.
Configuration files are tracked by their MD5 checksum. If a file is renamed, it will still have the same md5
sum. Once a file has been loaded it will not be reloaded, even if the local configuration information is
changed.
The requested image file version (if any) is checked against the current version before any attempt is made
to load it. If the requested version is the same as the running version, no action is taken. If the image file
version (embedded in the file header) does not match the expected version, no further action is taken. If the
version has not been specified, the image file header is compared to the local version. If they are the same,
no action is taken.
Configuring Auto Install via the CLI
There are three compulsory and four optional configuration parameters.
The compulsory parameters are:
• configuration upgrade enable
• cluster configuration upgrade enable
• image upgrade enable
Optional (only for the static case):
• configuration file URL
• cluster configuration file URL
• image file URL
• expected image version
To set default to no, and the URLs and the version default to "" (blank):
WS5100(config)#show autoinstall
feature enabled URL
config no --not-set--
cluster cfg no --not-set--
image no --not-set--
expected image version --not-set--
Enables are set using the autoinstall <feature> command:
WS5100>en
WS5100#conf t
WS5100(config)#autoinstall image
WS5100(config)#autoinstall config
WS5100(config)#autoinstall cluster-config
NOTE: Once the system has been operating for ten minutes, Auto Install is disabled,
though it may still be reconfigured. This is to prevent the system from attempting to re-
install each time a DHCP lease is renewed.
