Base Script for SMB Configuration via CLI

Base Script for SMB Configuration via CLI

I would like to share a base script that you can use and edit when performing SMB configurations via clish.

This makes our lives much easier when working with large-scale SMB deployments. In my last implementation, I pre-configured 48 Spark 1575 appliances, and if I had used Zero Touch for this, these scripts could also have been applied.

These base Script was used on versions R81.10.X, so a sujest read too, for complement if you need more configuration:

R81.10.X Quantum Spark 1500, 1600, 1800, 1900, 2000 Appliances CLI Reference Guide

Right now we have a new version, but I don't use this version yet, so I'll just reference the guide here as an information:

R82.00.X Quantum Spark Appliances CLI Reference Guide

At the beginning, these are the first lines to execute — I will explain why:

set property first-time-wizard off
#This command skips the web First Time Wizard, allowing us to proceed directly with configuration via clish

delete switch LAN1_Switch
#By default, every SMB appliance starts with a LAN1_Switch configuration, and all ports are in this LAN1_Switch, this commands will delete LAN1_Switch and free all LAN's interfaces for a free use as you desire.

After that, I disable some unnecessary features and continue with hostname, DNS, NTP, admin access, session settings, disabling DHCP on interfaces, LAN interface configuration, VLAN configuration (including VLAN with active DHCP), and WAN interface configuration already prepared for Check Point SD-WAN.

We know that SMB is quite different from Enterprise environments, and sometimes configuration on SMB appliances can be a bit tricky.

Script via USB autoconf.clish:

You can use this type of script for be initiated via USB pendrive, you just need edit the name file for this format autoconf.XX-XX-XX-XX-XX.clish
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx its the spark MAC.

After edit the name, just put this script in a USB pendrive, and conect on the usb port of the quantum spark, and turn on the gateway, if everething was good with recognition of the pendrive, will initiate the script and the spark will start set all configuration.

But if don't work fine the pendrive or the autoconf.clish format, you can set manually the script when you do your first access to the Spark via console port.

A good thing that normally I use when I don't use autoconf, its set one interface that don't will be used, set one generic IPv4 to be one type of management interface, that is better for access ssh to run the clish script, than the console some times.

Enjoy:
