Note: The format of the path to the configuration server is protocol:// [user:password@]hostname_or_ip[/path]. The protocol may be either tftp, ftp, or http. The Gateway Series appliance will request a configuration database with the filename of xxxxxxxxxxxx.tgz, where

xxxxxxxxxxxxis the unit’s first MAC address, from the configuration server. The MAC addresses of the Gateway Series appliance are printed on a label on the back of the unit. FTP and HTTP normally do not require a username and password.

The Configuration Server options for the G400 and G800 models are specified below.

Reload Remote Config on Reboot - Leaving this option enabled will allow the Gateway Series appliance to request that its configuration be reloaded from a configuration server on every reboot.

Note: If this feature will not be used, it is recommended that it be disabled.

The Reload Remote Config on Reboot option must be enabled in order to activate this feature. Refer to the note on page 38 for proper syntax when specifying the path and configuration database file.
