Solution

Step 1: Prepare the environment to accept the switch.

Step 2: Make the switch contact OmniVista Cirrus server for activation.

Step 1:

a. Upgrade the switch to the right software version and setup the network to allow the switch to connect to OmniVista cirrus (DHCP config ex: option 43 sub-option 1, Firewall config)
b. Add the switch serial numbers in the Device Catalog application and wait for the “Device Status” to reach either “Waiting for First Contact” or “Registered” state.

a. If aiming for full management of the switch from OmniVista Cirrus, click on Assign License to the devices in the Device Catalog application.
b. OV provides a default pre-provisioning template for AOS switches starting from build 44 and so there is NO need for setting up Pre-provisioning for AOS.

Step 2 depends on how fresh the switch is:

 

a. If the switch is fresh out of the box with only factory config and NEVER powered-on before, then simply power-on the switch. The switch should reach “OV Managed” Device Status in the
Device Catalog.
b. If the switch was already connected to the network, then simply reboot the switch to trigger it to contact OV Cirrus.  If a reboot of the switch is not feasible because it is doing a critical
function in the network, then it means we are in a BROWN FIELD usecase, where the switch was being configured via CLI. So, there should be no problem for the customer to log into the
CLI and type the following commands:
