Configuring Information About Files to Be Downloaded
Context
Information about files to be downloaded by clients includes the configuration file name, system software package name and version number, and patch file name. The network administrator can specify the type of files to be downloaded based on actual requirements.
When deploying zero touch devices, you can specify file information for each device or specify the same file information for a group of devices with the same attribute. The system preferentially matches the rule of a single client. If no matching rule is found, the system then matches the rule of a group. If still no matching rule is found or a rule is matched but no file information is specified in the rule, the system uses the default file information.
Procedure
Perform the following steps based on the network planning.
Configure file information for a client.
Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run easy-operation
The Easy-Operation view is displayed.
In the following two situations, you need to manually bind device information with devices. In other situations, go to the next step.
Zero touch devices are deployed without using the network topology collection function:
Run client [ client-id ] { mac-address mac-address | esn esn }
A matching rule is defined for the client. The client can be uniquely identified by a MAC address or an ESN.
If client-id is not specified, the system assigns the smallest unused ID to the client.
Zero touch devices are deployed using the network topology collection function, but client auto-join is disabled:
Run client [ client-id ] mac-address mac-address
A matching rule based on the client's MAC address is defined.
Run client client-id { system-software file-name [ version ] | patch file-name | configuration-file file-name | web-file file-name | { custom-file file-name } &<1-3> }*
Information about files to be downloaded is configured.
Configure file information for a client group.
Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run easy-operation
The Easy-Operation view is displayed.
Perform either of the following steps based on the group type:
Configure a matching rule for a built-in group.
Run group build-in device-type
A built-in group is created and the group view is displayed.
Configure a matching rule for a customized group.
Run group custom { mac-address | esn | ip-address | model | device-type } group-name
A customized group is created and the group view is displayed.
Run match { mac-address mac-address [ mac-mask | mac-mask-length ] | esn esn | ip-address ip-address [ ip-mask | ip-mask-length ] | model model | device-type device-type }
A matching rule is defined for the customized group.
- A maximum of 256 groups can be created and a maximum of 256 matching rules can be defined for the groups on the Commander. For groups created based on MAC addresses, IP addresses, or ESNs, multiple matching rules can be defined. For groups created based on device types and models, only one matching rule can be defined for each group.
- If multiple types of groups are configured, the clients match the groups in the following sequence: MAC address > ESN > IP address > device model > device type in the customized group > device type in the built-in group.
- If a client matches multiple groups of the same type, the groups are selected in alphabetical order of their names.
Perform the following steps to specify the files to be downloaded:
Run system-software file-name [ version ]
The system software package name and version number are specified.
Run patch file-name
The patch file name is specified.
Run configuration-file file-name
The configuration file name is specified.
Run web-file file-name
The web page file name is specified.
Run { custom-file file-name } &<1-3>
The user-defined file name is specified. A maximum of three user-defined files can be specified.
Configure default file information.
Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run easy-operation
The Easy-Operation view is displayed.
Perform the following steps to specify the files to be downloaded:
Run system-software file-name [ version ]
The system software package name and version number are specified.
Run patch file-name
The patch file name is specified.
Run configuration-file file-name
The configuration file name is specified.
Run web-file file-name
The web page file name is specified.
Run { custom-file file-name } &<1-3>
The user-defined file name is specified. A maximum of three user-defined files can be specified.
