Configuring Administration Tasks
Configuring Administration Tasks
You can specify new configuration and firmware files that will go into effect the next time the Device
Server is rebooted and a message of the day (MOTD) file, whose contents will be displayed when
User’s log into the Device Server.
Configuring Bootup Files
When you specify a configuration and/or firmware file(s), the files will be downloaded via TFTP to
the Device Server the next time it is rebooted.
Configure the following parameters:
Firmware Host
The host name or IP address of the server that contains the configuration or
firmware file. If you use a host name, it must exist in the Device Server’s host
table or be resolved by DNS.
Firmware File
Configuration Host The host name or IP address of the server that contains the configuration or
firmware file. If you use a host name, it must exist in the Device Server’s host
table or be resolved by DNS.
Configuration File
Configuring the MOTD File
You can specify a file whose content will be displayed to users after they connect to the Device
Server, but before they log in. The Device Server will retrieve the file content every time a user
connects to the Device Server, so you can change the content of the file without reconfiguring it
within the Device Server.
Configure the following parameters:
Host
Filename
The path and file name (do not use a drive letter), relative to the default path of
your TFTP server software, of the update software for the Device Server that
will be loaded when the Device Server is rebooted.
The path and file name (do not use a drive letter), relative to the default path of
your TFTP server software, of the configuration software for the Device Server
that will be loaded when the Device Server is rebooted.
The host that the Device Server will be getting the Message of the Day file
from.
The path and file name (do not use a drive letter), relative to the default path of
your TFTP server software, of the file that contains a string that is displayed
when a user connects to the Device Server.
