Auto installation
2
The individual features (config, cluster-config and image) can be enabled separately using the CLI,
SNMP or Web UI. If a feature is disabled, it is skipped when auto install is triggered.
For manual configuration (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, the switch will derive it from
the header of the firmware image file.
Configuration files are tracked by their MD5 checksum. Configuration files are tracked by their
contents. If a file is renamed its contents remain the same and the file will not be reloaded.
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.
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.
Configuring auto install using 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):
RF Switch(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:
RF Switch>en
RF Switch#conf t
RF Switch(config)#autoinstall image
RF Switch(config)#autoinstall config
RF Switch(config)#autoinstall cluster-config
After this configuration update, any switch reboot with DHCP enabled on the RON port will trigger
an auto install, provided the DHCP Server is configured with appropriate options.
