Configuring the Switch
- Zero Touch Provisioning: Greatly simplifies initial deployment of switches. Users can define switch configuration at a switch group level. Any new switch joining the group automatically gets provisioned.
- Ongoing Configuration Changes: Users can further modify the switch configuration as a part of network maintenance. This includes modifying switch group level settings, port settings, and routing interfaces.
- Stack formation: Users can configure individual switches to be formed into a stack directly from SmartZone.
- Configuration copy: Users can copy configuration from a working switch to one or multiple new switches seamlessly.
You can view and modify various configuration parameters of switches from the SmartZone web interface. You can create switch configuration profiles at the group level, individual switch level and at the port level.
The Configuration page displays common configurations based on DNS, allows setting configuration values for a family of switches and also provides a summary of the switch configuration history.
You can update the configuration profile for new and existing switches, switches that join the controller after being offline, switches that may or may not have local feature changes via CLI/Telnet/SSH/other web interfaces.
After the switch configuration is updated successfully, you can continue to monitor the configuration deployed on the switch. If the switch configuration is not updated successfully, a message is displayed on the controller interface.
