Chapter 2: Unit Installation
GUI as described in
Backups
on page 73, and place the backup file on the
configuration server at the path described below.
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
xxxxxxxxxxxx is 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.
Get Config Server from Option 66 via DHCP
- If
Obtain an IP
Address via DHCP
is enabled on an Interface tab and a DHCP server
specifies the path and configuration database file on the configuration
server using Option 66, this feature may be enabled for all Gateway
Series configuration settings to be automatically configured using a
configuration server. 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.
