Chapter 7 Setting Up a Device Provisioning Engine

Configuring a Device Provisioning Engine for Data

Step 1 Assign a static IP address and subnet mask to the first ethernet port on the DPE. For example, to assign IP address 10.10.10.1 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0, enter these commands:

localhost# interface ethernet 0 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 localhost# interface ethernet 0 ip enabled true

localhost# interface ethernet 0 provisioning enabled true

Note The values provided here are sample values only. Use values appropriate for your network.

Step 2 Enter the IP address for the RDU or its domain name if you are implementing DNS. Also, identify the port on which the RDU is listening. The default listening port is 49187. For example:

localhost# dpe rdu-server 10.10.10.1 49187

Step 3 Specify the provisioning group or groups of which the DPE is part. Where appropriate, specify the secondary provisioning group of which it is part. For example:

localhost# dpe provisioning-group primary group1 localhost# dpe provisioning-group secondary group2

Step 4 If your network topology has a default gateway IP address, enter that information. For example:

localhost# ip default-gateway 10.10.10.1

Step 5 To set up DNS for the DPE, enter the IP address of the DNS server. For example:

localhost# ip name-server 10.20.10.1

Note To enter more than one DNS server name, lists the servers with a space between each entry.

Step 6 Provide the DNS hostname and domain name for the DPE. For example:

localhost# hostname DPE1

localhost# ip domain-name example.com

Step 7 Configure the current time on the DPE. For example:

localhost# clock set 23:59:59 20 12 2003

Step 8 Set the shared secret password to be the same as that on the RDU.

Note This is one of the security related commands mentioned earlier in this chapter. This command can only be run if the console is connected to the DPE serial port.

Step 9 For the configuration to take effect, you must reload the DPE. For example:

localhost# reload

After you reload the DPE, you can establish a Telnet session using the IP address of the DPE. Remember to use the new login and enable password that you created in the “Logging In” section on page 7-2.
