Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After this function is enabled and the Commander IP address is configured on clients, the Commander automatically learns the basic information about clients, saves the information to the client database, and assigns a client ID to each client.

Client information learned by the Commander includes MAC addresses, ESNs, IP addresses, device types, device models, current system software names, configuration files, and patch files on the clients. The Commander monitors and manages basic information and version files of all clients in the management domain.

In batch upgrade scenario, you can determine the devices to be upgraded according to the client information.

To prevent unknown clients from joining the management domain, disable this function.

Precautions

In the batch upgrade scenario, run the easy-operation commander ip-address command to configure the Commander IP address on the clients.

In the zero touch device deployment or faulty device replacement scenario, if you require that the clients still be managed by the Commander after completing the EasyDeploy process, add the Commander IP address to the configuration file to be downloaded by the clients.
To view the client information learned by the Commander, run the display easy-operation client command.
If the learned client information already exists in the client database (statically configured using client), the client database is updated.
After information about a client is stored in the client database, the client status becomes LOST if the client goes offline. When the client goes online, the client joins the management domain again and its status becomes Running.
