1595R and Rapid Deployment

VikingsFan — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 18:25:48 GMT

I saw in the admin guide that there is a rapid deployment available for the SMB gateways. I'm going to have around 20 1595R appliances and they won't have access to Internet so don't believe I can do the Zero Touch so looking to do the USB Rapid Deployment. It mentions a file on the USB drive but doesn't give an example of the file format or file name. What should I place on the USB drive?

Looking to program the basic information: Name, DNS, NTP, Syslog, Interface Names/IPs. Not sure if you can setup SIC password during this.

Any guidance or doc to point me towards would be appreciated.

It's basically a list of GAiA commands stored in autoconf.clish on the USB as I recall.

sk177763 has an example I'll see if there are other references in addition to:

Technical Writes will add the relevant information to the Administration Guides

This will take some time

Thank you for the patience
