The Poap Process; Using Poweron Auto Provisioning - Cisco MDS 9000 Series Configuration Manual

The POAP Process

The following example of dhcpd.conf on Linux, with bootfile name, TFTP server, and script file name:
option vlan-id code 132 = unsigned integer 32 ;
subnet 10.105.188.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
max-lease-time 7200;
class "cisco MDS" {
match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 15) = "cisco MDS - tcl";
option bootfile-name "poap_script.tcl";
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name "cisco.com";
}
option routers 10.105.188.1;
option tftp-server-name "10.105.188.159";
}
Step 4
T obtain the serial number of the switch, execute the show sprom backplane 1 command.
Step 5 Create a separate directory for each switch in the base directory of the TFTP server. The name of each directory should
be the same as the serial number of the switch. Creating a separate directory for each switch enables you to have separate
software images or configuration files for different switches.
The base directory should contain the software images (kickstart and system images) and the server-list.cfg file.
Note
The file names of the software images should match poap_script.tcl and device-recipe.cfg.
In the newly created directory for each switch, maintain the device-recipe.cfg and the conf_SN.cfg file. (ReplaceSN
with the exact serial number of the corresponding switch.)
The following is an example of device-recipe.cfg:
{"serial-number":"JAF1735307V","kick-start-image":{"image-name":"MDS9148S_boot","download-server":
"Default_SCP_Repository"},"system-image":{"image-name":"MDS9148S_isan","download-server":
"Default_SCP_Repository"},"startup-config":{"config-name":"conf_JAF1735307V.cfg","download-server":
"Default_SCP_Repository"}}
The following is an example of server-list.cfg:
{ "repositories": {"Default_SCP_Repository":{"url":"scp://server_IP/directory_path","username":
"user","password": "password","last-modified-time":"Mon Mar 24 00:22:33 PDT 2014"} }, "resources":{
}}
