14.4 Zero-Touch Configuration
Zero Touch enables the user to quickly and easily commission the link and complete the
startup configuration process.
The process begins with the remote and automatic configuration files, which enable t he
transfer and loading of the software file. The process results in full radio configuration,
completed without any need for intervention from the installer part.
14.4.1 Requirements
Ensure that the following requirements are in fulfilled in order to enable Zero Touch:
The system must have an enabled DHCP server and a TFTP server, as well as
access to your servers.
Connectivity to the servers must be verified. The Vlan for Inband management
must be set to the correct operator Vlan.
The operator must set the unit’s frequency to the requested or default
frequency.
System configuration:
Enable the Net-config file (set net-config config-file enable).
Enable the DHCP server (set ip 2 ip-addr dhcp).
14.4.2 Zero Touch System Process
1. The system starts and attempts to run the startup-config file.
2. If the startup-config file does not exist, the system runs the default config file and
then the customer_default_config file if it exists on the system.
3. If the DHCP-config file is enabled, the script runs on the DHCP server allocating an IP
address to the system.
4. The DHCP server points to the TFTP server that contains the user’s “zero_touch.txt”
configuration file.
In the following example, system name is changed to EtherHaul_SiteA, it then copies a
new software version and upgrades the software version if the current version number
is not the same as the most recently available version.
Zero Touch configuration supported in the CLI only.
