Preinstalling a Configuration

The Preinstall Config feature allows a customized AOS configuration file to download to a device as soon as it is discovered. Prior to deploying a device in the field, the configuration file is generated and uploaded to n-Command MSP along with the serial number of the device. Once the device is installed and discovered, the preinstalled configuration file is downloaded to the device, overwriting the current configuration, and rebooting the unit.  

1. Navigate to the Devices tab by selecting Devices from the Open Tab menu in the upper left-hand corner of  the screen.

2. Select Preinstall Config from the Manage drop-down menu, also in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.

3. Enter the Serial Number of the device.

4. Enter the configuration file name in the Config File field or select Browse to find a file locally or on the network.

5. Optionally, select Save on Reboot to save the running configuration as the startup configuration on the device.

6. Select Preinstall to complete the task.
