Auto provisioning of firmware and configuration
The new auto provisioning capability enables you to automatically distribute up-to-date configurations and
firmware to a large number of units using TFTP. It works as follows:
The unit downloads a specific file from a TFTP server. If this file has changed since the last download, it is
stored and executed. If the file on the server did not change since the last download, no action is taken. If the
units are configured to do auto provisioning, a network operator can only update the firmware files on the
TFTP server, which automatically distributes it to all units. The “profile provisioning” configures this. Here’s
an example for firmware provisioning:
profile provisioning FIRMWARE
destination script
location 1 tftp://172.16.1.2/firmware/b
location 2 tftp://172.16.1.33/firmware/b
activation reload graceful

Purpose
1
[

] (pf-prov)[
FIRMWARE
]#destination script
Chooses the unit’s script interpreter as des-
tination of the downloaded file. Use this
for firmware updates. Script files are the
b
,

, … files that come with each unit
firmware update.
2
[
name
] (pf-prov)[
FIRMWARE
]#location 1
tftp://172.16.1.2/firmware/b
Specifies the location of the file to check
for changes.
3
[
name
] (pf-prov)[
FIRMWARE
]#location 2
tftp://172.16.1.33/firmware/b
Specifies alternate locations of the file. If
the first could not be contacted, the sec-
ond is tried, and so on.
4
[
name
] (pf-prov)[
FIRMWARE
]#activation reload

activated. Choose between immediate or
graceful reload.
