Patton electronic SmartNode 4110 Series manual To use and debug provisioning

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide5 • System image handling

Step	Command	Purpose
2	[name] (pf-prov)[CONFIG]#location 1	Specifies the location of the file to check
	tftp://tftp1.provider.net /configs/	for changes. $(system.mac) is a place-
	$(system.mac).cfg	holder for the unit’s MAC address of
		ETH 0/0. Using host names instead of IP
		addresses works only if DNS resolver is
		enabled and configured.
3	[name] (pf-prov)[CONFIG]#location 2	Specifies alternate locations of the file. If
	tftp://172.16.1.33/configs/$(system.mac).cfg	the first could not be contacted, the sec-
		ond is tried, and so on.
4	[name] (pf-prov)[CONFIG]#activation reload	Specifies how the new configuration
	graceful	should be activated. Choose between
		immediate or graceful reload.

Note the placeholder used in the file location. Placeholders can be used for each part of the location, be it server address, path or filename. The following place holders are available:

•$(system.mac)—MAC address of ETH 0/0 (without “:” between the hexadecimal characters)

•$(system.serial)—serial number of the unit

•$(dhcp.66)—DHCP option 66 (TFTP server IP), as delivered by the DHCP server (only if DHCP is enabled)

•$(dhcp.67)—DHCP option 67 (Boot file name), as delivered by the DHCP server (only if DHCP is enabled)

To use and debug provisioning:

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (cfg)provisioning execute FIRMWARE	Executes the provisioning profile
		FIRMWARE once
2	[name] (cfg)debug provisioning	Enables debug output for all
		provisioning operations

To continuously poll for firmware or configuration changes, use the provisioning execute command together with the new timer command as described below. Here’s how to do both firmware and configuration provi- sioning, with a polling interval of 10 minutes.

timer FIRMWARE_UPDATE now + 2 minutes every 10 minutes “provisioning execute FIRMWARE” timer CONFIG_UPDATE now + 2 minutes every 10 minutes “provisioning execute CONFIG”
