I cannot give you any specifics right now, but if you come by the Powercode
booth at WISPAPALOOZA, I can guarantee we will have some very interesting
things to show you.

OK, so clarify the option 66 URL part. What makes sense to me is a single
option 66 statement on the DHCP server like I said below. The SM will fill in
its ESN/MAC as the file name to pull from the HTTP or TFTP server. This is how
most VoIP handset/ATA provisioning works. On the PBX or switch, your station
config files would reside in some directory and the handset would request
001122334455.cfg or 00-11-22-33-44-55.cfg. This is exactly how zero-touch
auto-provision works, at least with the VoIP crap I've messed with. What I'm
looking for is how to tie X device to X customer in say a
billing/support/provisioning system. And if the SM dies, then rename the file
with the new ESN.
So if this is not the way the option 66 mechanism will function, then
yeah, RADIUS VSA for the URL will be the only other way. I think it would be
easier to just do RADIUS attributes for all of the config, but we've had that
discussion before.
Off my rocker now? :)

That's pretty much how it will go but the dhcp server will provide the
filename via option66 string within the url itself.
Another option would be radius profiles with config file url delivered
via a VSA. �Not sure that will get into first release. But we are working on
it.
You are correct on ICC operation, once a non default CC config is in
place, ICC will never be used on SM even if it is left enabled. �But you can
very easily set ICC to disabled in the config file.

I'm guessing it's going to work like this: 13.3 SM registers via ICC.
It switches on DHCP and looks for Option 66. Then it contacts the HTTP/TFTP
server with a request string like http://<server-IP>/$<ESN>.cfg just like it
works with IP phones and things like that.
ICC doesn't do random stupid things anymore. That was with v11.1. Once
the SM is configured with color codes other than CC1=0 and the reset zero and
disabled, ICC is effectively disabled.
The second part is, if your default SM registered to my AP via ICC, I
wouldn't have a config file for its ESN to send it. Well, maybe I could, but
why.
I'm sure there's always a way for things to go wrong. But I need a much
faster and automated way to do provisioning. I'd like to give the guys a basic
template that they keep on their field PCs to load into new radios to set up
things like default QoS, protocol filters, admin password, etc. RADIUS handles
only basic stuff like QoS and VLAN.
Maybe I'm completely off my rocker here.....

so if a device connects to icc, it will turn on dhcp client? �so if
we are using this, we will want to remember to have part of the dump config be
to disable ICC or if a deployed unit happenned to hit ICC on a different AP, as
has been the case in the past, it will become defaulted, or at least defaulted
to the configured default configuration? This could be problematic, stranding a
subscriber if a competitor is also running option 66 via ICC couldnt it? or is
there a way to mitigate that?

That is freakin awesome! I think Matt said something about a RADIUS
VSA option too. RADIUS and DHCP option 66. Both are good with me.

Hi George -
I know this was a long time ago (and has been an even longer time
coming), but attached is what I sent after AF2014.
What we have now is the file format, it will be JSON based and
there will be a published spec.� It will also work with DHCP Option 66.�
For Zero Touch Config type of operation, we are leveraging the ICC feature in
that once a radio is on 13.3, if a radio registers via ICC, it will turn on
DHCP and request Option 66.� That option can be populated with a URL to the
config file (HTTP or TFTP) that will be retrieved and applied and if a reboot
is required, the reboot will be applied.� Once the SM comes back if it had to
reboot, it will be on the new configuration.
You will also be able to backup/restore the file via the webpage
and SNMP and read it and edit it.
Again, this is coming in 13.3 release and we'll be discussing
some things at WISPAPALOOZA related to this.� Obviously an SM needs to be on
13.3 to support this, so the fully promise of Zero Touch Config won't be there
until SMs are shipping with 13.3 on them.
That is the update we have to give you at this point.
Regards,
-Aaron

I know a TFTP config download kind of thing was talked about
before. But it would be nice if we could manually apply a config template file
directly through the SM GUI, so I can have the guys get new or recovered radios
set up without having to mess with too many things (AP, TFTP server, etc), just
upload file.. apply, reboot, whatever.

Hi Bill -

5) we are working on an external frame calc tool but not sure

Please let us know if:
