User's Manual 47. Automatic Provisioning
Version 6.8 661 Mediant 500L MSBR
47.2.9.3 Automatic Update for Mass Deployment
This example describes how to configure the Automatic Update feature for updating
multiple devices (i.e., mass deployment) using an HTTP provisioning server. In this
example, all the devices are configured to download the same "master" configuration file.
This file serves as the configuration template and instructs the devices which files to
download and how often to perform the Automatic Update process. In addition, the master
file also instructs each device to download an ini configuration file whose file name
contains the MAC address of the device.
The example scenario is as follows:

All devices download a "master" configuration file that contains the following:
• Common configuration shared by all device's.
• Specific configuration that instructs each device to download a specific
configuration file based on the device's MAC address, using the special string
"<MAC>" in the URL, as described in ''MAC Address Automatically Inserted in
Configuration File Name'' on page 657.

Device queries the provisioning server daily at 24:00 (midnight) for software,
configuration and auxiliary files.

HTTP-based provisioning server at www.company.com for storing the files.

DNS server at 80.179.52.100 for resolving the domain name of the provisioning
server.
 To set up automatic provisioning for mass provisioning (example):
1. Create a "master" configuration file template named "master_startup.txt" with the
following settings:
• Common configuration for all devices:
♦ CLI:
# configure system
(config-system)# automatic update
(automatic-update)# update-frequency 24:00
(automatic-update)# call-progress-tones
https://www.company.com/call_progress.dat
(automatic-update)# auto-firmware https://www.company.com/sw.cmp
• Configuration per device based on MAC address:
♦ CLI:
# configure system
(config-system)# automatic update
(automatic-update)# cli-script
https://company.com/files/cli_script_<MAC>.txt
2. Copy the master configuration file that you created in Step 1 as well as the CPT and
.cmp files to the HTTP-based provisioning server.
3. Configure each device with the following:
a. URL of the master configuration file:
♦ ini File:
IniFileURL =
'http://www.company.com/master_configuration.ini'
♦ CLI:
# configure system
(config-system)# automatic update
(automatic-update)# cli-script https://company.com/files/master_startup.txt
