Lantronix SLC 8000 User Manual

SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 271
13: Maintenance
The system administrator performs maintenance activities and operates the SLC advanced
console manager using the options for the Maintenance tab and additional commands on the
command line interface.
Firmware & Configurations
The Firmware & Configuration page allows the system administrator to:
 Configure the FTP, SFTP, or TFTP server that will be used to provide firmware updates and
save/restore configurations. (TFTP is only used for firmware updates and configurations
restored via DHCP/TFTP Zero Touch Provisioning Configuration Restore.)
 Set up the location or method that will be used to save or restore configurations (Local Disk,
FTP, SFTP, NFS, CIFS, USB, HTTPS or SD card). Update the version of the firmware running
on the SLC unit.
 Save a snapshot of all settings on the SLC device (save a configuration).
 Restore the configuration, either to a previously saved configuration, or to the factory defaults.
 Configurations can also be pushed to the SLC via the HTTPS Push Configuration Restore
feature.
Zero Touch Provisioning Configuration Restore
The Zero Touch Provisioning feature allows a factory defaulted SLC to acquire a default
configuration from a DHCP server and TFTP server when it is booted. At boot-time, before the
normal startup process, a unit will attempt to acquire network parameters and a configuration file,
first over Eth1, and then over Eth2:
 The unit will broadcast on the Eth1 network port for a DHCP server on the local subnet,
requesting DHCP options "TFTP Server" (DHCP option #66) and "Boot Filename" (DHCP
option #67).
 If it receives both options from the DHCP server, and the Boot Filename is a valid SLC
configuration filename ending in "-slccfg.tgz", it will attempt to download the Boot Filename
from the TFTP Server.
 If it is able to download the Boot Filename from the TFTP Server, it will restore the
configuration onto the SLC, and begin the normal startup process.
 If any of these steps fail for the Eth1 network port, it will repeat the process of trying to acquire
a configuration over the Eth2 network port.
 After attempting to acquire a configuration over the Eth2 network port, the unit will begin the
normal startup process.
Any results of attempting to acquire and restore a configuration file will be output to the console
port and the system log. Configurations for firmware versions that are newer than the firmware
version running on the unit will not be restored. Spaces are not supported in either the directory or
filename portion of the Boot Filename path.
