1.1 Overview

This section describes the functions, application scenarios, and terms of Auto-Config.

When a new switch or a switch without any configuration file is powered on, Auto-Config runs

automatically to obtain a configuration file. With the Auto-Config function, the network

administrator can manage new switches or switches without any configuration file remotely.

NOTE

The Auto-Config function is applicable to new switches or switches without any configuration file

(unconfigured switches).

The Auto-Config function has the following advantages:

lThe maintenance personnel do not need to manually configure each switch. With this

function, a few maintenance personnel can maintenance widely deployed devices.

lAuto-Config simplifies the network configurations and implements unified management

and remote debugging on switches.

lWith Auto-Config allows switches to automatically download corresponding configuration

files, reducing the workload of network administrators.

Intermediate File

The intermediate file lswnet.cfg is used in the Auto-Config process. The intermediate file records

the mapping between MAC addresses of switches and names of configuration files. After an

unconfigured switch obtains the IP address of the FTP/TFTP server, it downloads the

lswnet.cfg file from the FTP/TFTP server to search for the name of the required configuration

file, and then downloads the configuration file from the FTP/TFTP server.

NOTE

Auto-Config uses Option 67 to obtain the configuration file first. If Option 67 is not configured, Auto-

Config obtains the intermediate file.

For example, if the MAC address of an S6700 is 0018-82C5-AA89 and the S6700 needs to

download the configuration file S6700.cfg, the contents of the intermediate file are as follows:

mac=0018-82C5-

AA89;vrpfile=V100R006C00.cc;vrpver=V100R006C00;cfgfile=S6700.cfg;patchfile=S6700-

pat.pat;

esn=0213778899;vrpfile=V100R006C00.cc;vrpver=V100R006C00;cfgfile=S6700.

cfg;patchfile=S6700-pat.pat;

NOTE

If the configuration file is located on the FTP or TFTP server, its extension must be .cfg.

A MAC address and a configuration file name are separated by a semicolon. The format of a MAC address

is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. The name of a configuration file contains up to 48 characters, including the

extension .cfg. The name is case insensitive and cannot contain special characters. It is recommended that

the name consists of English letters, numbers, and underscore (_).

If multiple unconfigured switches need to be configured, each row in the intermediate file records the MAC

address of a switch and the name of the configuration file that the switch requires.

Option 67

The Option 67 field is configured on the DHCP server to specify the configuration file.

Option 150

The Option 150 field is configured on the DHCP server to specify the IP address of the TFTP

server.

Option 14x

The Option 14x field is configured on the DHCP server to specify the IP address, user name,

and password of the FTP server.

lOption 141: specifies the user name of the FTP user.

lOption 142: specifies the password of the FTP user.

lOption 143: specifies the IP address of the FTP server.

lOption 145: version file.

lOption 146: identity.

The Auto-Config process can be divided into three phases:

lStartup

After being powered on, an unconfigured switch checks whether there is *.cfg or *.zip file

except the *web.zip and web.zip files in the flash memory, and then takes actions according

to the checking result:

–If the switch detects a configuration file, it loads the configuration file to complete the

startup.

–If the switch does not detect any configuration file, it checks whether Auto-Config is

enabled. If Auto-Config is enabled, the switch starts a 5-minute timer for obtaining a

configuration file and then load the default configuration to complete the startup. If

Auto-Config is disabled, the switch loads the default configuration to complete the

startup.

lObtaining a configuration file when the timer expires

When the timer set for obtaining a configuration file expires, the switch checks whether a

configuration file is saved in the flash memory. If the flash memory does not contain any

configuration file, the switch checks whether it is added to a Huawei Group Management

Protocol (HGMP) cluster. If the switch is not in any HGMP cluster, the switch begins to

obtain a configuration file as follows:

1. Obtaining the IP address and information about the FTP/TFTP server

A switch that does not load any configuration file automatically enables the DHCP

client function on the VLANIF1 interface in Up state. VLANIF1 then broadcasts

DHCP Request packets (presuming that the DHCP server has been configured with

the address pool, Option 150 or Option 14x, and gateway information). Then, the

DHCP server sends the related configurations to the switch, including the IP address

allocated to the switch, IP address of the FTP/TFTP server, FTP user name and

password, and default gateway.

If the switch fails to obtain the IP address of the FTP/TFTP server, it sends DHCP

requests repeatedly until it obtains the IP address.

2. Downloading a configuration file

After the switch that does not load any configuration file obtains the IP address of the

FTP/TFTP server, it accesses the FTP/TFTP server to obtain a configuration file

through Layer 2 or Layer 3 forwarding.

(1) The switch downloads the intermediate file lswnet.cfg from the FTP/TFTP

server.

(2) The switch searches for the name of the required configuration file, and then

downloads the configuration file from the FTP/TFTP server.

(3) If downloading the configuration file fails, the AutoConfig process will be

suspend.

lLoading a configuration file

After the configuration file is downloaded successfully, the router is restarted according to

the setting of Option 146. If no Option 146 is configured, the router is restarted immediately

after the configuration file is downloaded.

1.3 Deploying Unconfigured Switches (Same Network

Segment)

This section describes how to deploy S6700s without configuration file.

1.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Applicable Environment

As shown in Figure 1-2, unconfigured switches are reachable from a DHCP server. A PC is

connected to the DHCP server and functions as an FTP or a TFTP server to store configuration

files. After the DHCP server and FTP/TFTP server are configured, every switch obtains a

configuration file through Auto-Config.

The DHCP server, FTP/TFTP server, and switches are deployed on the same network segment.

Operator

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before deploying unconfigured switches, complete the following tasks:

lEnsuring that there are routes from the DHCP server and FTP/TFTP server to the switches

lEnsuring that there is no *.cfg or *.zip file except the *web.zip and web.zip files in the

flash memory of each switch

lEnsuring that the switches are not added to any HGMP cluster

Data Preparation

To deploy unconfigured switches, you need the following data.

2 MAC address of each unconfigured switch

3 IP address, mask, address pool, and Option 150 or Option 14x of the DHCP server

4 IP address, version file, patch file, and configuration file on the FTP/TFTP server

1.3.2 Configuring the DHCP Server

Context

The configuration procedure varies according to the device type of the DHCP server. Therefore,

the configuration procedure is not described and only the configuration contents are provided.

NOTE

The DHCP server must support either Option 150 or Option 14x.

Procedure

lEnable DHCP server.

lConfigure an address pool, including the address range and Option 150 (or Option 14x).

It is required that the address pool be on the same network segment with unconfigured

switches and the FTP/TFTP server.

NOTE

Pay attention to the following points when configuring Option 150 or Option 14x:

lWhen new switches obtain configuration files through TFTP, the DHCP server must support

Option 150.

lWhen new switches obtain configuration files through FTP, the DHCP server must support

Option 141, Option 142, and Option 143.

lIf both Option 150 and Option 14x are configured on the DHCP server, Option 150 takes

precedence over Option 14x.

lIf you use ordinary characters to configure Option 150 or Option 143 on the DHCP server, the

Auto-Config module cannot recognize the IP address, which results in an Auto-Config process

sends the DHCP messages incessantly.

lAdd the downstream interface on the DHCP server to the management VLAN in access

mode and assign an IP address on the same network segment as the IP address of the DHCP

server to the management VLAN.

After Auto-Config is enabled, packets from an unconfigured switch do not carry tags.

Therefore, ensure that untagged packets can be transmitted between unconfigured switches

and the DHCP server.

1.3.3 Configuring the FTP/TFTP Server

Context

The configuration procedure varies according to the device type of the FTP/TFTP server.

Therefore, the configuration procedure is not described and only the configuration contents are

provided.

Procedure

lSet the IP address of the FTP/TFTP server.

For an FTP server, the IP address must be the same as the value of Option 143 configured

on the DHCP server; for a TFTP server, the IP address must be the same as the value of

Option 150 configured on the DHCP server.

lCreate and configure an intermediate file.

The intermediate file is configured according to the MAC addresses of unconfigured

switches and the names of configuration files. For the format of the intermediate file, see

1.1 Overview.

lSave the intermediate file and configuration files to the working directory on the FTP/TFTP

server.

----End

1.3.4 Checking the Configuration

Prerequisite

The configurations of the DHCP server and FTP/TFTP server are complete.

Context

You can check different items in different phases in the Auto-Config process to confirm that

Auto-Config runs properly.

Procedure

Step 1 Five minutes after unconfigured switches are powered on, check address allocation on the DHCP

server to confirm that the switches are connected to the DHCP server.

NOTE

If the switches are connected to the DHCP server, you can log in to the switches through Telnet but do not

configure the switches.

Step 2 Five minutes after the switches obtain IP addresses, check the file downloading log on the FTP/

TFTP server or log in to the switches to confirm that correct configuration files have been

downloaded.

NOTE

Do not save a configuration file to a switch to be configured immediately after the configuration file is

downloaded; otherwise, only a temporary configuration file is saved because the configurations have not

taken effect.

Step 3 If the user has specified the activation delay, the configuration file will take effect after the delay.

If the user has not specified the activation delay, the configuration file will take effect

immediately by default. Then run the display current-configuration command to check

whether the configurations take effect.

NOTE

If you access the switch when it is busy delivering configurations in the Auto-Config process, the switch

may not respond in real time.

After the configurations take effect, modify the configuration of the downstream interface on the DHCP

server as required.

1.4 Deploying Unconfigured Switches (Different Network

Segments)

This section describes how to deploy unconfigured S6700s.

1.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Applicable Environment

As shown in Figure 1-3, unconfigured switches are reachable from a DHCP relay and a DHCP

server. A PC is connected to the DHCP server and functions as an FTP or a TFTP server to store

configuration files. After the DHCP server and FTP/TFTP server are configured, every switch

obtains a configuration file through Auto-Config.

The DHCP server, FTP/TFTP server, and switches are deployed on different network segments.

unconfigured switches are on different network segments

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before deploying unconfigured switches, complete the following tasks:

lEnsuring that there are routes from the DHCP server, DHCP relay, and FTP/TFTP server

to the switches

lEnsuring that there is no *.cfg or *.zip file except the *web.zip and web.zip files in the

flash memory of each switch

lEnsuring that the switches are not added to any HGMP cluster and USB upgrade

Data Preparation

To deploy unconfigured switches, you need the following data.

N

o.

Data

1Interconnection information about the upstream interfaces on each S6700 and the

downstream interfaces on the DHCP relay

2 Interconnection information about the DHCP relay and DHCP server

3 MAC address of each unconfigured switch

4 IP address, mask, address pool, and Option 150 or Option 14x of the DHCP server

5 IP address, mask, and relay address of the DHCP relay

6 IP address, default configuration file, and configuration files on the FTP/TFTP server

1.4.2 Configuring the DHCP Server

Context

The configuration procedure varies according to the device type of the DHCP server. Therefore,

the configuration procedure is not described and only the configuration contents are provided.

NOTE

The DHCP server must support either Option 150 or Option 14x.

Procedure

lEnable DHCP server.

lConfigure an address pool, including the address range, gateway, and Option 150 (or Option

14x).

NOTE

Pay attention to the following points when configuring Option 150 or Option 14x:

lWhen new switches obtain configuration files through TFTP, the DHCP server must support

Option 150.

lWhen new switches obtain configuration files through FTP, the DHCP server must support

Option 141, Option 142, and Option 143.

lIf both Option 150 and Option 14x are configured on the DHCP server, Option 150 takes
