Figure 2. Pre-Deployment Flowchart Flowchart for preparing the distributed core for deployment NOTE: The pre-deployment flowchart does not list all the prerequisites. For more information, see Prerequisites. Pre-Deployment Screens Use the following Pre-deployment screens to prepare the distributed core for deployment. These screens automate the deployment process. • Assign Switch Identities - Assigns chassis MAC address to each switch. You can optionally assign serial numbers and service tags to each switch. • Management IP - Assigns management IP address to each switch. • Software Images - Specifies the TFTP address and the path of the FTOS software image to load for each type of switch. Use this address to stage the software. • DHCP Integration - Creates a dhcp.cfg file that loads the correct software image and then a configuration file for each type of switch. The DHCP server also uses this file to assign a management IP address to each switch. NOTE: You must install the DHCP configuration file on the DHCP server before you deploy the distributed core. • Output - Displays the uplink and downlink configuration on the leaves. Verify that this information is correct before deploying the switches. 28

Pre-Deployment Screens
Use the following
Pre-deployment
screens to prepare the distributed core for deployment. These screens automate the
deployment process.
•
Assign Switch Identities – Assigns chassis MAC address to each switch. You can optionally assign serial
numbers and service tags to each switch.
•
Management IP – Assigns management IP address to each switch.
•
Software Images – Specifies the TFTP address and the path of the FTOS software image to load for each type of
switch. Use this address to stage the software.
•
DHCP Integration – Creates a
dhcp.cfg
file that loads the correct software image and then a configuration file
for each type of switch. The DHCP server also uses this file to assign a management IP address to each switch.
NOTE:
You must install the DHCP configuration file on the DHCP server before you deploy the distributed core.
•
Output – Displays the uplink and downlink configuration on the leaves.
Verify that this information is correct
before deploying the switches.
