Registering Cisco 1040s to Service Monitors

After it is connected to a switch, a Cisco 1040 uses DHCP to obtain the IP address of the TFTP server.

The Cisco 1040 checks the TFTP server for a configuration file, using the first of the following files that

it finds:

•QOVmacaddress.CNF—Where MAC address is the MAC address of the Cisco1040.

Note This configuration file is created by the automatic registration process and by adding a

Cisco 1040 manually. You must copy this configuration file to the TFTP server. For more

information, see Adding a Cisco 1040 (Manual Registration), page 1-9 and Copying Image

and Configuration Files to the TFTP Server, page 1-4.

•QOVDefault.CNF—Default configuration file; used when automatic registration is enabled on the

Service Monitor (see Setting Up Service Monitor, page 1-3.)

Note The default configuration file is installed on the server with Service Monitor. To enable a

Cisco 1040 to use this file, you must enable automatic registration, edit the default

configuration file (see Editing the Default Configuration (Automatic Registration), page

1-12), and copy it to the TFTP server (see Copying Image and Configuration Files to the

TFTP Server, page 1-4.)

Note Service Monitor continues to allow Cisco 1040s to register until the number of registered Cisco 1040s

reaches the number specified by the license. For more information, see Licensing Overview, page B-1.

When automatic registration is enabled, a newly connected Cisco 1040 registers to a Service Monitor

using the default configuration file, QOVDefault.CNF. After a Cisco 1040 registers to a Service Monitor,

a configuration file QOV<MAC address>.CNF is created in the image file directory. You must copy this

Image File Name Name of the image file installed on the Cisco 1040.

Note If there is a more recent image file available on the

TFTP server, you must edit the configuration file for

the Cisco 1040, specifying the filename for the more

recent image, you must copy the updated configuration

file to the TFTP server, and you must reset the

Cisco 1040. (See Editing the Configuration for a

Specific Cisco 1040, page 1-11.)

Last Reset Time Date and time that the Cisco 1040 was last reset. (See

Resetting a Cisco 1040, page 1-13

Description User-entered description for the Cisco 1040. (See Editing the
