autoinstallation
|
Automatic configuration of a Services Router over the network from
a preexisting configuration file that you create and store on a configuration
server—typically a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server. Autoinstallation
takes place on a router that is powered on without a valid configuration (boot)
file or is configured specifically for autoinstallation. Autoinstallation
is useful for deploying multiple Services Routers in a network.
|
|
default configuration
|
Configuration that takes place on a Services Router unable to locate
a configuration (boot) file. You can set up two default configuration files
for autoinstallation on the router: network.conf to specify IP address-to-hostname
mappings for routers on the network, or router.conf to provide just
enough configuration for your subsequent Telnet access.
|
|
hostname.conf
|
Host-specific configuration file for autoinstallation on a Services Router that
contains all the configuration information necessary for the router. In the
filename, hostname is replaced with the hostname
you are assigning to the router.
|
|
host-specific configuration
|
Configuration that takes place on a Services Router for which you
have created a host-specific configuration file for autoinstallation called hostname.conf.
The hostname.conf file contains all the information
necessary to configure the router. For the router to use hostname.conf,
it must be able to determine its own hostname from the network.
|
|
network.conf
|
Default configuration file for autoinstallation, in which you specify
IP addresses and associated hostnames for Services Routers on the network.
|
|
router.conf
|
Default configuration file for autoinstallation with a minimum configuration
sufficient for you to telnet to the Services Router and configure it manually.
