Discovering Devices Manually with AutoLink
Devices can be discovered manually by configuring the auto-link settings on the device. Connect to the device through console, telnet, or SSH as described in the quick start guide that shipped with the device or available online at http://kb.adtran.com. Once auto-link is enabled and configured on the device, it will check in with the server and become a managed device. Enter the following configuration in the command line interface (CLI):
1. Enter the n-Command MSP server IP address to manage the device:
where <ip address | hostname> is the host name or IP address of the MSP server. IP addresses should be expressed in decimal dotted notation (for example, 10.10.10.1 ).
2. Optionally specify the interval (in seconds) between attempts to contact the MSP server:
By default, the AOS device will contact the server every 3600 seconds. Range of recontact intervals is 20 to 604800 seconds. Specifying a recontact interval of 0 seconds disables the recontact feature.
3. Enable auto-link on the AOS device by entering the auto-link command from the Global Configuration mode prompt. For example,
Additional information about configuring the auto-link feature on the AOS device is available in Configuring Auto-Link for AOS and n-Command MSP Quick Configuration Guide. The guide is available here.
Additional information about these commands and using the CLI is available in the AOS Command Reference Guide on the AOS Documentation CD that shipped with your device or from www.adtran.com.
