configuration file to the TFTP server. See Copying Image and Configuration Files to the TFTP Server,
page 1-4. Thereafter, every time that you reset the Cisco 1040, it uses QOV<MAC address>.CNF to
register to a Service Monitor.
There can be only one default configuration file on the TFTP server. The default configuration file
specifies the primary Service Monitor. Therefore, each Cisco 1040 that uses the same TFTP server
registers to the same Service Monitor.
Note When multiple Service Monitors share the same TFTP server, after automatic registration completes,
you must edit the configuration file for any Cisco1040 that you want to register to primary, secondary,
and tertiary Service Monitors different from those listed in the default configuration file. See Editing the
Configuration for a Specific Cisco1040, page 1-11.
Configuring Service Monitors and Cisco 1040s when Multiple TFTP Servers Are in Use
If you have multiple licensed instances of Service Monitor, you can configure them to use one TFTP
server or multiple TFTP servers. When you use multiple TFTP servers, ensure that each TFTP server
holds a current copy of the configuration file for each Cisco 1040. All QOV<macaddress>.CNF files on
each TFTP server should be fully replicated to the other TFTP servers using any file replication
mechanism.
Following this recommendation ensures that, when a Cisco1040 fails over to a Service Monitor using a
different TFTP server, the Cisco 1040 locates and loads the specific configuration file that was created
for it. Access to the correct configuration file from any TFTP server enables the Cisco 1040 to retain its
ID while registering with a failover Service Monitor that uses a different TFTP server.
Note Copying a configuration file to a TFTP server does not cause a Cisco 1040 to load that configuration file.
A Cisco 1040 loads a configuration file from a TFTP server only during failover or reset. (See
Understanding Cisco 1040 Failover to a Secondary or Tertiary Service Monitor, page 1-13 and Resetting
a Cisco 1040, page 1-13).
Adding a Cisco 1040 (Manual Registration)
Note If automatic registration is enabled, you can still add a Cisco1040 to Service Monitor manually before
you connect the Cisco 1040 if you want to do so.
Step 1 From the Service Monitor home page, select Cisco1040 Sensor Management.
Step 2 Click Add. The Add a Cisco 1040 Sensor dialog box appears.
Note The number of Cisco 1040s that you can add to Service Monitor depends on the limit specified
by your license. If you already have reached the limit, an error message is displayed and you
cannot proceed. You might be able to upgrade your license to support additional Cisco1040s.
For more information, see Licensing Overview, page B-1.
