should exist on the USB device. It must have a .text file name extension. No other file name extension is allowed. For information about the format and contents of the *.text file, see Editing and Downloading Configuration Files. Image File If the Auto Configuration process includes a switch image upgrade, the name of the image file may optionally be included in the *.setup file. If it is desired to assign a specific image to a specific set of switches. If it is desired to use a single image for all switches being upgraded, it is not necessary to include the image file name in the .setup file as long as it is present on the USB device. The specified image file should exist on the USB device. What Is the Setup File Format? The setup file must have a *.setup extension or this part of the Auto Configuration process will never begin. If there are multiple .setup files located on the USB device, the dellswitch.setup file will be utilized. If no dellswitch.setup file is present and there are multiple .setup files present, the Auto Configuration process does not start. The general format of the configuration file lines is as follows. The IP address and subnet mask are always required on each line of the .setup file. The MAC address, configuration file, and image file name entries are optional. MAC_address IP_Address Subnet_Mask Config_File Image_File The following example shows a *.setup example for two switches: 2180.c200.0010 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 switch-A.text N2000v6.0.1.3.stk 3380.c200.0011 192.168.0.11 255.255.255.0 switch-B.text N2000v6.0.1.3.stk After a line has been read and implemented by the Auto Configuration feature, it automatically adds "in-use" to the end of the line to ensure that the information is not utilized for the next switch. To replicate the entire USB auto configuration process, the "in-use" statements from the .setup file need to be removed while leaving the inserted MAC address information. Then, if the process is restarted, the MAC address/IP address combinations will be ensured for any switch that has previously attempted upgrade and all other switch upgrades can take place as if for the first time.

should exist on the USB device. It must have a .text file name extension. No

other file name extension is allowed. For information about the format and

contents of the *.text file, see Editing and Downloading Configuration Files.

Image File

If the Auto Configuration process includes a switch image upgrade, the name

of the image file may optionally be included in the *.setup file. If it is desired

to assign a specific image to a specific set of switches. If it is desired to use a

single image for all switches being upgraded, it is not necessary to include the

image file name in the .setup file as long as it is present on the USB device.

The specified image file should exist on the USB device.

What Is the Setup File Format?

The setup file must have a *.setup extension or this part of the Auto

Configuration process will never begin. If there are multiple .setup files

located on the USB device, the dellswitch.setup file will be utilized. If no

dellswitch.setup file is present and there are multiple .setup files present, the

Auto Configuration process does not start.

The general format of the configuration file lines is as follows. The IP address

and subnet mask are always required on each line of the .setup file. The MAC

address, configuration file, and image file name entries are optional.

MAC_address

IP_Address

Subnet_Mask

Config_File

Image_File

The following example shows a *.setup example for two switches:

2180.c200.0010 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 switch-A.text N2000v6.0.1.3.stk

3380.c200.0011 192.168.0.11 255.255.255.0 switch-B.text N2000v6.0.1.3.stk

After a line has been read and implemented by the Auto Configuration

feature, it automatically adds “in-use” to the end of the line to ensure that the

information is not utilized for the next switch. To replicate the entire USB

auto configuration process, the “in-use” statements from the .setup file need

to be removed while leaving the inserted MAC address information. Then, if

the process is restarted, the MAC address/IP address combinations will be

ensured for any switch that has previously attempted upgrade and all other

switch upgrades can take place as if for the first time.
