Advanced Settings - Provisioning
Provisioning allows installers to pre-configure 8128 Strobe units prior to
installation on a network. It is typically used for large deployments to save
time and ensure consistent setups.
There are two different Provisioning methods that can be used: via DHCP
Option 66 or via a Static Server. In addition, there are three different ways
to download provisioning files from a “Provisioning Server”: TFTP (Trivial
File Transfer Protocol), FTP, or HTTP.
For example, 8128 Strobe configuration files can be automatically
downloaded from a TFTP server using DHCP Option 66. This option code
(when set) supplies a TFTP boot server address to the DHCP client to
boot from.
DHCP must be enabled if using DHCP Option 66, in order for Provisioning
to work.
