Embedding firmware in ConfigPack.
Please not the additional information and security notes in the operating instructions of your
device.
With the the ConfigPack with embedded firmware file you can install a device configuration
including the firmware belonging to it on one or more devices.
Creating ConfigPack with embedded firmware
To embed the firmware in a ConfigPack, you need to make a setting in the Command Line
Interface (CLI). To do this, follow the steps outlined below:
Note
Using configurations with DHCP
If you want to use the ConfigPack with embedded firmware to commission multiple devices
with the same configuration and firmware create a ConfigPack only from device
configurations that use DHCP. Otherwise, disruptions will occur in network operation due to
multiple identical IP addresses.
You assign fixed IP addresses extra following the basic installation.
1.
Start the remote configuration using Telnet (CLI) and log on with a user with the "admin"
role.
2.
Change to the global configuration mode with the command "configure terminal".
3.
You change to the loadsave configuration mode with the "loadsave" command.
4.
Enter the "firmware-in-configpack" command without parameters.
The firmware currently on this device is now included as a separate file in the ConfigPack
when you save it.
Note
Embedding firmware in ConfigPack.
When the device is restarted this functionality is lost again and must be reactivated.
If you save a ConfigPack in the WBM or CLI, the firmware is embedded.
Refer to the information in the section Load & Save (Page 196).
Installing ConfigPack with embedded firmware
Note
Installing ConfigPack with DHCP options 66, 67
You can also install the ConfigPack using DHCP with options 66 and 67 activated.
You activate the options in the menu "System > DHCP > DHCP Client".
If you install a ConfigPack using WBM or CLI, firmware stored there is also installed.
