Example for Manually Replacing Faulty Devices Using the Commander

Networking Requirements

The enterprise network shown in Figure 1 supports the EasyDeploy function. SwitchA functions as a DHCP relay agent and Commander. SwitchA, DHCP server, and the file server have reachable routes to each other.

Client5 on the network fails, and services of users connected to Client5 are interrupted. To resume services for users, Client5 must be replaced by a new client. The new client needs to take over services of Client5 quickly to minimize impact of the fault.

The MAC address of the new client is 0200-0000-0000, and the new client needs to download the web page file web_1.web.7z.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for faulty device replacement using the Commander

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Save web_1.web.7z to be loaded on the file server.
Specify client replacement information on SwitchA to enable the new client to obtain the backup configuration file of the faulty client.

Faulty device replacement can be implemented on a network where EasyDeploy has been deployed, and the file server, DHCP server, and Commander have been configured.

Procedure

Configure automatic configuration backup to enable the new client to obtain the configuration file of the faulty client.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
[SwitchA] easy-operation
[SwitchA-easyoperation] backup configuration interval 72

Specify client replacement information on SwitchA.

[SwitchA-easyoperation] client 5 replace mac-address 0200-0000-0000
[SwitchA-easyoperation] client 5 replace web-file web_1.web.7z

Verify the configuration.

# Check client replacement information.
