6.1 Overview

Centralised configuration management involves the following steps:

1. Configure a TFTP server on the network.
2. Define a site configuration file which contain global settings to all network devices on the site.
3. Define device configuration files which contain specific settings for each device, which override global

settings.

4. Applying the configuration files to each device and rebooting.

Network devices read and apply the configuration files from the TFTP server as shown in

Centralised configuration management

Figure 43: Centralised configuration management

6.2 Site Configuration files

Site configuration files contain common settings for all devices in a network. The site configuration file
has the naming convention ap_site_settings.conf. This file is retrieved by devices using TFTP.
